Win ME/98 XP use same ethernet NIC driver ?
Am using a Compaq Presario 7PL290 (mini tower) with Win ME no problem but am going (have not yet) to do the Windows XP Pro upgrade, the upgrade advisor says my plane ole 10/100 base T NIC might need additional files (see below) but I didn't see XP driver(s) on compaq.com only ME/98 drivers, my xdsl uses this NIC, do ethernet NICs need different files for ME & XP ? Other things to look out for ? Thanks for any and all.
