windows xp drivers?

That depends on what Hardware you got!

XP will automatically install most drivers. However, you might need the chipset software (comes with the motherboard) and all plugged in devices drivers.

A couple of ideas.

Go to Device Manager and look at your Internet connection hardware. Go on line and download the Ethernet driver. It is the one driver you need so you can download other drivers.

Computer makers include different items on their installation disk so it is hard to advise. Look for a separate disk that came with the unit.to "install drivers". That's the easiest. Otherwise, you will have to track from the manufacturer's site, or all the hardware sites, the drivers you need for audio, modem, chipset, etc.

Your manufacturer (Dell, HP, etc) should have a website that will give your model and the drivers needed for your hardware. Good idea is to get the drivers to disk before you reinstall.

The *best* option would be to get a new printer. You CANNOT install the XP driver and expect it to work. Won't happen. A way around it would be to find a compatible printer driver that came with Vista. For instance, I have an HP Photosmart 1000 printer which is not supported under Vista. However, the printer works with the Vista Deskjet 970Cse printer driver. Of course, it all depends.

A lot of it should be covered by the XP disc but whenever i format i have to reinstall etherent port, sound drivers, graphics card drivers etc.

If have a pc like a dell or hp or whatever you can download the latest drivers from their website

I have done this so many times.

Now i dont know to much bout PCs

Get the model # and o to manufacturers site and down load drivers that match u'r model hasn't fail me yet.

or go directly to the hard ware manufacturers site

I use belarc to find out what hard wre i have

It also give u useful info about u'r PC like soft ware installed

ram and HD size

Iprint it out so next time i reformat i know what drivers are installed

The drivers should all be on a disc that came with your computer. If you don't have the CD you should buy it from the manufacturer of the computer. For example a Dell computer would need a Dell CD, an HP computer would need an HP CD.

sometimes windows XP automatically install drivers.

you just need: audio, video card, chipset and depending on your hardwares.

just set the plug and play on the BIOS setup

Whatever dosen't install just go to the Windows Update site & it should install from there.

if you've got the disk, it will install the windows drivers for you...

but you'll need computer drivers, such as audio drivers, sound drivers, chipset, video drivers

INF, display, sound, ethernet, and any other hardware drivers that ur motherboard has.
