    Hey guys i reformated my 5672 with a fresh copy of xp home. I used the cd ont he bottom of my lappy. Everything is working out perfectly fine. The only thing that would not install is the 5672 lan.. so i can only connect wirelessly. I downloaded the drivers for the lan and there is no set up file. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Extract the folder to your desktop (or anywhere). Go into device manager (start->my computer->right click->manage->device manager). Go to the wireless lan with the "?" next to it. Right click->update driver. Specify your own search (obviously point to the folder where you extracted the drivers, and the drivers are located in that folder, it might be in a sub folder iirc). Then click next, it will search and then you'll see it update the drivers. Voila, you're done!
