Big Problems. Oh No

UNCLEMIKE1 · 04-06-2006, 10:47 PM

I volunteered to wipe out my cousin's dell and start over. He really doesn't know too much about computers so I figured I would help out. BIG MISTAKE. I formatted the hard drive then reloaded windows XP. All of that went very well until I realized that I don't have any of the drivers for the video, sound, pci, and usb etc. How would I go about obtaining these? I went over to Dell's website to download what ever drivers I could but the server seems to be messed up because every time I click on the "download driver" link it takes me to a blank browser page. The computer is a Dell Dimension 3000 with service code BYZX961. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Here is the link into dell section for your pc.
http://support.dell.com/support/down...&os=WW1&osl=EN

When you go there, it lists what the hardware is. Just google that, or the company who made it. Need help? Which ones do you need? Video/audio/network?

All you need are video and sound drivers, you dont need anything for the PCI or USB.

How about the eithernet card? That doesn't work either.
