Having a problem adding network components on XP-HELP!

[cyberock]

I been trying to add a network component by going to properties on my network connection. I click install and then choose a network component to install. As soon as I hit add, I get an error that says "Could not add the requested component. The error is: The Specified path does not contain any application device INFs." I'm doing this on a new Sony Vaio P4 2.8 ghz notebook with Windows XP Pro running on it. I get this problem when I try it on the built in ethernet port and the SMC wireless G card I added. Help!!! Thanks!!!

just some basics that you've probably already tried... but you never know.

did you download the latest drivers? did you specify the location for those drivers when asking to install?

i'd uninstall the device if it's there in a non-functional state. i'd get the latest drivers and manually install it using the "add new hardware wizard." you should specifically point to a location where the wizard can find the drivers.

I found the problem, it was in the registry. My device path was bad. thanks!
