fresh install = no drivers

I tried to install XP Pro recently but I found that I can not connect to the internet or get a good screen resolution.

I tracked the problem to the device drivers and found that every item under 'Other Devices' in Device Manager has the yellow question mark with the black exclaimation mark inside the yellow circle beside it.

The devices are:
Base System Device
Base System Device
Base System Device
Ethernet Controller
Ethernet Controller
PCI Device
SM Bus Controller
Video Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatable)

does anyone know where to go for these drivers? I find that the device descriptions are too vauge to do a meaningful search on google for them.

F.e. here:

http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/no ... e_110.html

There is plenty of places to download them...

 

Thanks!

All of the drivers are now installed, with the exception of the 3 'Base System Device'. However, the computer seems to be working fine so far.

Thanks again!

The three Base System Devices are:
o SD Card Controller
o xD Card Controller
o MMC Card Controller

In other words, it is the card reader driver.

 

Thanks again! Everything is working fine now!
