Trouble 3 :

I am using a lenovo 3000N100 series laptop and am facing problems with driver installations. The  drivers i have downloaded from the lenovo website fails to resolve my problem. please help me with this. – Srinivas

Fix:

If you are not able to find compatible drivers correctly on the Lenovo website, there might be some hardware changes to the model you purchase. I would suggest you to read the following article: Know Detailed Hardware Configuration Of Your Computer. After you have the detailed configuration at the device level, for example you know that you have a broadcom Ethernet card,now you can search for the broadcom driver for that particular card and so on. Its bit hectic to do it this way, but it will solve your problem.

Alternatively I would suggest you to try this tool : Find Device Drivers For Free
