SIS intergrated LAN driver crashes pc

[sweetkitten]

Im a total idiot when it comes to PCs, so please excuse my post if it hasnt enough info

I reformatted the Kids PC, which is a pretty old machine... they have windows 2k pro OS...Everything went fine until i got to installing the Lan driver.

All i know is that its an intergrated one, and when i check the device manager it says its a SIS PCI based fast ethernet Lan

Whats happening is that i have the motherboard disk and i just let the wizard run its course, but as soon as i hit the button to say install driver, some messy graphics appear on the screen and then everything freezes, with the only way out is to restart the pc ..
So i thought fine maybe the disk is dodgy, so i downloaded the driver from SIS home page onto a memory stick and tried again , but still the same results ..

Any help would be appreciated, as im about to hit the damn thing with a hammer

problem solved, i managed to install the drivers in safe mode

Problem number 2: Now the pc stops half way through windows starting up, few times there has been a blue screen with loads of writing on, most of the time its just a black screen...

maybe i should of used the hammer half an hour ago
