Hello all

Ok so here is the low down. I've recently installed Win7 onto a customized pc, and I am unable to find the correct drivers that are compatible with the new OS. I'm missing my Ethernet, Audio and Video drivers for a MSI motherboard model MS-6547. I've searched google and found some sites that have the drivers, but found none that are compatible with Win7. I've tried to instal the Vista and Xp pro chipset with no luck. I even tried a Driver "finder" program, but because i cant get online with the pc I cant use the program! :blink: So if anybody out there has any tips or tricks to solving this issue that would be great!

You sure thats the model number of the motherboard - and is the ethernet onboard or an addon card?

Searching for that model number I don't find anything on the MSI site. You get links for the 645 series.. And does not look like any of those have onboard nics?

No it doesn't have an onborad NIC, but looking under my Device Manager, it's telling me that I don't have the Ethernet Controller, Multimedia Audio Controller and an "unknown" device that I'm guessing is my Video. I also thought that it was an issue with the type of NIC I was using and tried to get the Drivers for that also, it's a Linksys LNE100TX. And I have the same issue, no compatible drivers for Win7. Srry I should have been a lil more descriptive :p

Have you try installing those drivers in compatibility mode?

1. Extract/Unzip the driver

2. Open the extracted folder and look for the setup/application file

3. Right click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run this program in compatibility mode for: ...

4. Choose Vista or XP (try Vista first, if doesn't work then try XP)

5. Run that setup/application file. This method let me installed all the XP/Vista drivers in Windows 7, but some of them might not function correctly.

Hopefully that help.

So you have a LNE100TX - what hardware version? 1 or 4?

that card is REALLY old -- but I would think windows 7 would have a driver for it out of the box.. If not I don't see any 64 bit drivers for it, not even the v4 version.

I don't even see xp drivers. Here I did a google and found these vista 64bit drivers, they should work.

LNE100TX Vista 64-bit driver, get it here!

Is the video onboard on a addon card as well? If so -- then again open up the box and look at the cards!!

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
