Xp pro not detecting on board lan

[mike1447]

I am working on a pc that required a reinstall of xp. I no longer have my xp home disc so i installed xp pro instead and this resulted in problems trying to load the lan drivers. It is a ECS Geforce6100PM-M2 main board and everything worked fine on xp home but i am unable to install the drivers on pro. I have also downloaded all the latest drivers from the manufacturer.

I have gone into the cmos and made sure it is enabled and i still get the error message that the device/driver could not be found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why are you unable to install the drivers on pro ??

im not sure it keeps popping up the error message that the device/drivers could not be found. i read some other peoples post about the issue on newegg and i have gotton a xp home oem disk and will try to reinstall windows and see if it works with that set up. i also read that xp pro has trouble detecting the onboard lan with many other boards as well. im not sure why and i dont feel like dealing with **** microsoft tech support to try and resolve the issue so i will just reinstall and go from there.
