Its a DFE-530TX (Dlink) and it just wont install
Are you on Xp or vista?
Have you tried... (XP instructions)
right-click my computer, choose manage
click device manager
find device missing driver, right-click, choose properties
click driver tab, click update driver
"no, not this time"..
"install from specific location"..
browse for temp directory (when it recognises a driver file it will enable the ok button - from memory)

I got 1 installed in 1 of the pcs @ home.
U get pains trying any kind of drivers other than ones for the card. Windows indentifies it as something like a Realtek xxx..xx.xx whatever, and this can lead to yellow exclaimation marks on the driver list or it won`t appear in the list - only to be found somewhere down the pc-connection tree.
When I get home I`ll check the filename of the drivers - even so tho, I`m sure the ones from a downloadable source should work ok.

but it sounds similiar to one of the many ways i tried it earlier 
Most Network cards closley follow the ref designs of the chip manufacturer
look @ the card, find the chip name/model go to Chip manu web page and get their driver ......
this driver will have greater tolerances to hardware differences than the D-link 1 (it has to support a lot of diff PCI Ids)
it cld b a failed card

Meh, what I got is the DLink DGE-530T. 10/100/1000 GigaExpress
The page for the 530 TX+ is here 10/100 http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=122&sec=0#drivers
If u can`t install this, it`s possible the conflict is on the "+" version of the card. Non "+" `may` need a different driver set and may well need hunting down cos it`s older.
(there`s also a pic of the nic on the site, if u`rs varies u could have a hybrid of kinds)
Drivers are meant to contain a testing util, that installs if u use the automatic install approach. I just do drivers only so can`t comment on that.
