Comment: Recently, I reinstalled XP and while installing the newest nForce 3 drivers (version 5.11) my pc suddenly rebooted (without completing the installation) Scandisk scanned my drive but couldn't find any defects. So I tried reinstalling the drivers and everything works except for deactivating my LAN-connection or un-/reinstalling the ethernet drivers. Whenever I try this, my PC reboots. I can uninstall all the other board drivers like IDE, GART, audio etc. just not the ethernet drivers.
I'd like to be able to deactivate my LAN-connection without having to fiddle with the file and printer sharing everytime I want to play a game.
Thanks in advance!

Reply: (edit)Hi,it sounds like you have a ME or older OS ...To do such you can Right Click My Computer>Properties>HardwareTab>DeviceManager>NetworkAdapters click + >doubleclick on your card> on bottom of that windows click dissable. It will always go online when you reboot, so you have to do this every time, I hope this helps! Nic(Crunch's wiz kid) :) Kurke Curl

Reply: (edit)Sorry I misread I thought you had Older OS. On XP go to control Panel>Networks(OR) NetworkConections>DoubleClick on your internet connection icon (ie: local area connections)>properties>check the box at bottom (show Icon) Or if you dont want the icon just double click your connection and click Disable (might want to make a shortcut of that on your desktop) Crunch

Reply: (edit)Thanks for answering but I know how to disable my connection. My problem is, that everytime I try, my pc crashes and reboots. And I'm also not able to re- or uninstall the network drivers, because the same happens.

Reply: (edit)If you havent solved the issue here's the way i fixed the same problem i was having. Download a older version of the nforce 3 drivers uninstall everything but the ethernet, restart and f8 to boot into safe mode with no networking and uninstall the ethernet driver that way.Then reboot and install the older nforce 3 drivers

Reply: (edit)Was wondering what kind of mother board you had that was doing this. I actually ran into the same problem in trying to uninstall, it would crash and reboot etc. I have a k8n-e mobo, just wondering what version did this, and if you ve updated your bios as well? Also did re-intstalling through safe mode correct the problem?
