Finding the Correct Drivers for Windows XP Devices
(Page 1 of 4 )
You reinstalled Windows XP on your computer and you lost your drivers. Worse, you do not know the name of the hardware/device name, and naturally, you don't have the installation CD. Are you stuck? No. Keep reading for some help.
Instead of opening up your computer or even your laptop, you can find ways to detect and locate the appropriate drivers for your Windows XP devices. This is an accurate procedure, and you do not need to purchase any third party software to solve your problem.
However, there are two things that are required and important:
- An Internet connection. This means that you can browse the Internet without restrictions, or at least you can access Google.
- A fully-working Windows XP installation with updates. Of course there is no point to installing drivers in a problematic Windows XP installation; fix the installation problem first before finding drivers for your devices.
Also, Windows updates are important; there is no redundancy in finding drivers which may be covered by a Windows update.
Do you meet the above requirements? Okay then, let’s get started.
