We bought a new HP with vista and have converted it to XP Pro to run our RIP software for a large format inkjet printer. Hp's site says I need to install XP chipset drivers but gives no help in where to get them. Worst of all is the network driver is missing so I have to search on another computer and save and install.

resolving with HP.

However, nobody here can help unless you supply some details about the devices and drivers you require.

So what is the Motherboard and what is the Network device you require help with.

If you don't know, post back and ask for help to identify them!!!

Google for and download CPUZ. Run it and it will inform you of the hardware the machine has. Then go to those hardware manufactures websites and download the drivers. A new HP Probably is using (no guaranty) the NVidea 530 SLI chipset and you would get the network drivers from nvidia.com.

I can not take responsibility if you fail to run cpuz or another program by some Japanese programmer that tells you what hardware you have. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the program and am currently too busy to do your base work that should have been posted with your request; GOOGLE is your friend here. Try words like "Find hardware" and "Determine hardware."

UPDATE:
another thread, same problem different area:

"Download a copy of
PC Wizard 2008 from CPUID http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php

Run this on your computer and you will find out exactly what the sound device is.

After the program starts click on the [Music/speaker] edit [network] icon, then do a search for that driver.

Any queries post back to this question.

CPUID is the program I could not think of. Give the thumb to Jeff at this link:
