    That's what I do not want. I want to be able to go online and find the drivers "I need" w/o paying for them!

    Got another link?
    Maybe indeed you should stay out of the business. You'd do a favor both to your potential customers and yourself... Sorry if I seem harsh but you won't be able to make it in the business if you can't figure out something that simple. What if someone has an infected machine and you need to do a manual registry search/edit??? Food for thought.
    There is a link to the driver right on this website. Another link on driverguide(dot)com (the very first on google!!!!).
    A techie would use either result and run whatever is needed in a virtual box or using sandboxie. Then extract the driver and use it where it's needed.

    Well, Sandwich, don't take CeeBee's remarks to heart. None of us are born knowing it all. Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to take a formal course or two in an A+ certification program or the like.

    So, let me reiterate: ignore CeeBee's rant. A lack of experience doesn't equate to a lack of ability. Everybody learns all the time.

    Sure, lack of experience and lack of ability are different things. However you cannot be a chef if you can't peel a tomato... if you catch my drift.
    The driver is available on the very first google link. There is no excuse to be complaining about inability to find it. A whole 1-min job extracting the driver...

    Thanks SLGRIEB,
    I did take an A+ cert course and passed the exam circa 2002. I guess I am pretty dated and perhaps should look at re-certifying. I am not familiar with modifying or searching the registry with anything but reg-edit and I am not familiar with running programs in a virtual box. I have heard of the virtual stuff for running win 98 games and even dos games on modern machines but have always felt it would just be as easy to maintain an old machine. I guess I have some research to do if it involves getting drivers.
    HP Laptop 6830s with 4 Gbs ram and a 250gb HDD I run Vista business 64bit. But I have some old computers too.
