Why two Windows Folders in Local Disc?

Anonymous

I have just had to reinstall Windows XP Home. In Explorer under Local Disc, there used to be just one Windows folder. I now have two. One is titled Windows. the other Windows 0. Why? Some of the files within them are different.

Download and install the latest drivers for your network adapter. Is the router acting as a DCHP server? (most do unless you disable it).

1- Go into Network Connections and right click on the LAN/Internet connection then click on Properties.

2- Highlight (click on) Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click on Properties.

3- Set both the IP and DNS to obtain addresses automatically.

4-Go in your Services Management Console (enter SERVICES.MSC in the Start Menu Run box) and make sure that the DHCP Client service is set to automatic start.

Hi John

Settings are already as you suggest but I can't find an updated driver. I have an Nvidea nForce Network Controller Version 4.3.3.0 dated 16/3/2004. A search of the Nvidea site does not recognise the name or version number. Any ideas?

Get the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer.
