Ethernet Controller Driver for Gateway

[Sayer]

Hello I recently, stupidly opened and ran a file without scanning and it apparently had a nasty virus and messed my computer up enough that my only option was to reformat and reinstall windows XP. However I now cannot connect to the internet because my Ethernet controller driver is gone. I am currently on my parents computer and I think I may be able to download and burn the software to a disc and install it on my computer. However I cannot find the correct driver because the computer is fairly old. This is all the information about the computer on the back of it. Model MFATXPNT ESX 500L and the serial number is 0029643136. I don't believe that the system information is needed but please tell me if it is and I can post that as well. Thank you very much.

If I haven't posted enough information please tell me. I don't know where else to look as Gateway sold all their rights to my computer and several others to something like the MCP Corp.

Set a System Restore Point before installing any drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore – click radio button Create a restore point and follow instructions
