CHiLL Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I assume you have just reinstalled Windows XP onto a computer? If you have, is the computer a branded laptop or desktop? If it is, you may be able to check on the manufacturers website for all the drivers available, and download the Windows XP ones. If it is a self build box, you will need to find the drivers for the motherboard, which includes sound, LAN, chipset, graphics and more. Also the drivers for all (if any) expansion cards, such as graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, etc. You would have to visit the manufacturers website of each to get the drivers. It might well be possible to just get the LAN driver, then connect to Windows Updates, and see if that can download any drivers for you. As for the anti-virus, I would recommend removing McAfee, and having a look at this thread; http://www.geeksoup.net/index.php/topic,517 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHiLL Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Either way, with missing drivers, the methodology in my post stands, check the manufactures website for drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaunno Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 When you said you can only see your background, do you egtting an error like 'Windows explorer has stopped responding'? Also CHill was right mate you will need to find drivers for your hardware from manufacturers websites, i.e. if it is a Gigabyte motherboard then you will need to visit the gigabyte website etc. To find out what your devices are go to the device manager which cna be located in control pannel-system-hardware tab. The devices that dont have drivers will have a yellow symbol next to them, right click them and go to properties then details and a vendor ID should be listed along with a Device ID. Plug the numbers into this website http://www.pcidatabase.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry springer Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Luke i don't care if he is offering good advice, i specifically asked for u, Scott and Shaun. additionally, i never said his advice wasn't good or that is wrong. so every1 else who's rubbing chills grubby arse ring can fuck off now. as only wanted Shaun, Luke and Scott to solve it.

Shaunno Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yea ford is correct, but of you want a problem solved quickly it is best to let everyone give you advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry springer Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 ford, y would i pm them all separately, when its much more convenient and simple for me to write it on here, boosting their posts, as requested. yes, every1 is able to reply, but i thought people might have the common sense to read who i addressed it to and keep there noisy, prying snouts out of it.
