I have downloaded winxp drivers from driverguide.com for acer scanprisa 620ut (scanner), yamaha xwave q3000a (sound card)and hp cd writer series 9100 plus and all of them did not work when i downloaded them to a PC running in winxp pro. please provide me with those drivers or websites that gives free driver downloads and are working. the scanner, sound card and cd writer is not working or not working properly because the drivers from driverguide.com is not compliant to the winxp logo. i am looking forward to your kind and immediate response.

Try to find drivers for NT or 2000, they must work on XP if there are troubles with SIGNED or Certified drivers - look in the google how to turn them OFF

I normally ONLY use Driver Guide to find links to the manufactures driver page.
IF the manufacture no longer exists, or no longer supports the model that I need a driver for, I may try the posted drivers.

Here is the link to HP's driver download page for the 9100i

Acer changed their name to BenQ.

The scanner download page is:

The Yamaha sound card page does NOT list a Q3000A. Yamaha does not make sound cards, just the sound processor IC on the card.
You will need to look at the IC and determine which driver you need.
If possible, determine who actually made the sound card, and download the driver from them.

Yamaha's reference driver page is:

Go here for your scanner driver. When at that page scroll midway down and it is there! Acer peripherals is now called BENQ.

The maker for that sound card is actually Labway. You can try Labway.com. The site was down when I tried. However maybe try driverguide again since this is for windows 2000 but microsoft says it should work for windows XP.
