• Verify in BIOS the devices are enabled
  
• Verify in device manager there are no driver problems and the devices are not disabled
• Open the case and verify the cables for the front ports are plugged in all the way

This system comes preinstalled with Windows XP and only XP drivers a re available for download. They are not guaranteed to work with Win 7 or Vista but may.

The Ethernet driver or LAN (realtec) driver can be downloaded by clicking here.

2. There are three files, one of which is .INF file.
3. To install the LAN driver open Device Manager from Control Panel.
4. Locate the ethernet controller.
5. Right-click on it and select Upgrade Driver.
6. Choose to install manually.
7. Then select pick driver from computer.
8. Browse to the folder and point the installation to the INF file. It will install it automatically.

You can also find other (audio, video etc) drivers on this website. Just select your desired computer from the list.

this is a 'piece of cake'...just let me know the exact model of your computer ...if it is a brand one..(including the particularities.. if they have more than one choice on devices that equips it ) . also specify the operation system you intend to install and I will provide download links...If you have peripherals like printers...or any other devices installed after (video cards ..sound cards..usb devices..) specify their name also ...and its 90 % sure that I find drivers suitable for them ...After that you just save them on a safe location and use them each time reinstall the computer ..if you need a good Xp windows..genuine ..let me know and I will link you to an image download also..

Go into bios and be sure the unit is set to boot to the DC/DVD when you boot up the unit.
clean the disk with windex - it helps to make it easier to read

Enjoy!

can you find it in your device manager, If you see it in there and there is a yellow ? mark. open it and update it if you don't find it there you will have to go to you computers manufactures web and find you Ethernet driver and install it. reboot it on your on your way..

I had the same problem. The drivers on the manufacturer's site did not work. Only the original drivers on the CD that came with the motherbaord.

I did just solve all my problems with my own FIC K7MNF-64

Stop error: 0x0000007b / may be caused by attempting to load XP HOME

I've not determined exactly why attempting to load XP Home will cause
error 0x0000007b on the FIC K7MNF-64 , but it does , and it's a situaion not covered in the microsoft artical on it.

From what I can gather XP pro was the offical operating sytem for the board which I've now loaded to mine , windows 98/ME can load to it without problem so that rules out a hardware issue on my end.

eMachine T3395 or W3050 shipped with the FIC K7MNF-64 in them.

Drivers can still be obtained from eMachine for the board as of 8-26-2008
but for XP pro only from what I can see. you may need to hunt around for
98/ME drivers , even if you manage to get 98/ME drivers you will most likely still have a PCI Universal Serial Bus issue so best to load XP pro if possible.


I hope this information saves some people alot of time.

May the nForce2 be with you , always.
