Software downloads... Websites...

I have a "media center pc 873n" and I can't find any drivers for the computer.  The computer was reprogramed so everything is gone.  I got the audio and other drivers but I still need the card reader driver and some other ones.  Does anyone know where I could find the drivers?  Or could anyone give me the driver file names so I could find them?

Install the Chipset drivers and it should also solve the usb problem. Then reboot. After that look to see what else is missing.

To identify most hardware you can run Everest.  http://www.lavalys.com/products.php?ps=UE&lang=en&page=48

The problem is I can't find the chip drivers..  You know where I can find them?  All thats here on hpshopping, is updates.  I need the website to driver downloads.  If I'm doing something wrong or over looking something please let me know..

That's what i was saying. Run the program I listed and it will identify the chipset so that I can help find the drivers.

Here's the chipset and graphics drivers.

Install the chipset and reboot before installing any other drivers. It should get the usb ports working also.

Look at the bottom in the utilities section of your pc's support web page. There is also a firmware update for your card reader on the same page. The firmware update will probably make it easier for XP to recognize its presence.

Go to device manager> click the item you want> then right click it> choose up date driver> choose the online option. (Helpful hint ......... Ethernet drivers and video drivers change often, sometimes "windows updates" is not current, use this to check for new drivers or bookmark your video and ethernet drivers website. Do a review of all drivers once a year using this method, to stay current.)

eSupport has a free scan (warning they will spam you after this scan. I told you so .....):

Use the information they provide to get the correct driver online. This requires some searching but will sometimes help you find what you need. You'll need the specifications first. This scan and device manager provide the specifications for those searches.

I'm guessing your PC's old. This might help:

It's just a matter of time before some of your hardware breaks and like the drivers, you may not find what you need. It's time for a new PC.
