I installed a fresh copy of windows xp yesterday. Now whenever i try to install a driver it says
error in Newdev.dll
Missing entry: ClientSideInstall

I tried downloading the dll and putting it into system32 but it was of no use. Please suggest me something

How did you install the drivers ? Through CD ? Download drivers from motherboard site and see if it gives the same error while installing.

Never download newdev.dll from a "DLL download" website.
Run the sfc /scannow System File Checker command to replace a missing or corrupt copy of the newdev.dll file.
Open Command Prompt ,type the following command and then press Enter.

sfc /scannow

CAN'T DO IT. It says 'SFC' not recognized as an internal or external command

Download drivers again, reinstall and see if the error happens.

Use the tool below to do sfc /scannow and other troubleshooting
