Hi all,

I have just installed Windows XP on my pc but i have some how lost the cd which i had to install the drivers.

Does anyone know how i can install the drivers, i am a total novice to this so any step by step guide or any help would be a great help.

Thank You

If you know what stuff you've got in there you can find the manufacturer's website which should have some drivers on.

Windows Update should sort most of them.

Yeah thats problem i havent got much idea. I am a total novice, i am really just looking to get the graphics sorted and then thats the main problem fixed as the sound is now working. But any ideas on how i could go about looking for this?

Depending on your gfx card, just download the driver package from either

or

Any ideas with this, i have just looked at my display settings and thats where the problem is. I have tried to get as much information as possibel along with finding driver but having some problems.

Any clues on how i can find the driver from this, this is all the monitor and display settings.
