ethernet controller

multimedia audio controller

Hi:

 

These should be the XP drivers you need:

 

First install the chipset driver and reboot:

Then install the video driver and reboot: This driver is for the onboard video.

 

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...

 

If you have an add-on video card, you will need to let me know what model card you have. If you don't know, click on the video controller in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will ID the model of the video card you have.

 

Audio: Install and reboot

Network:

That should do it.

Re: Help !! Reinstalled windows xp now can't connect to the internet....

You're very welcome.

 

That is your Broadcom wireless adapter.  If you look at your post above, you did not provide that Device ID.

 

It appears you duplicated one of the others.

 

In any event, below is the link to the latest wireless driver you need for your card.

Hi:

 

Those hardware ID's you posted contain the code for the manufacturer of the device and the type of device.

 

Then I just enter them at this site below, or google them and it makes it easier to find the drivers on the support page.

 

http://www.pcidatabase.com/

 

Try entering your wiress card vendor (VEN) and device (DEV) codes above and you will see what I am referring to.
