Drivers for an old Slimline?

[JK74205]

I picked up an old Slimline s3400f today with the intention of turning it into a little retro XP system, but HP's site shows that drivers for it are no longer available. Like, at all. It's retired. Even if I were to run 7 or 10, the drivers just aren't available through HP's site...including the driver that lets the thing go online. Oops.

If I were looking for the s3400f drivers (and I am), where would I find them?

Hi, @JK74205

Your model PC originally came with Windows Vista, so HP never developed any XP drivers for that model.

However, you can get the XP drivers you need directly from the hardware manufacturer's websites...

Here are the links to most of the XP drivers you need for your model...

Chipset:  Will also install the ethernet driver.

Audio:   Accept the agreement.  Download and install the XP driver on the list (1st one shown in green).

For the modem and wireless, you will have to do a google search by the hardware ID's for those devices.

If you want me to help you with that, please post the hardware ID's for the remaining devices that need drivers.

Thanks Paul! The ethernet port never came to life, but everything else is up and running. That includes the wifi, which Windows found a driver for by itself, so not having wired ethernet isn't nearly as big an issue.

You're very welcome.

I'm glad WXP found a driver for the HP Liteon Wifi adapter.

The ethernet port must be kaput.

Should you ever need or prefer ethernet, you can always purchase an external USB to RJ-45 ethernet adapter.

You can pick up one of those for $15 or less.
