wrong device driver CD for OEM sys.

by spyder_1 . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

I’m now unfortuanely aware of the old saying, you get what you pay for. I within the last 8 months bought, what I thought was a killer deal, from Quantex. For those of you not aware they declared bankruptcy. So I’m completely stuck without any means of support. What I’m referring to, is that recently my system had a major crash where for some reason my tape back-up would not even work….so I thought well this may be the time to rebuild Windows 98SE. After getting to the point to load my drivers up for the hardware that is included..lo and behold the Drivers CD they sent did not have one item that matched what I had on my system. I eventually got my back-up to load up and so far the system is allright, but in the future does anyone have a suggestion on what I can do about getting the correct drivers. The hardware I have is as follows:

19″ moniter Quantex XP190DF
Sony CD-RW CRX140E
TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1402
NVidia GE-force 256 32MB 4x AGP
Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value
Pansonic 3.5″/1.44MB/No Bezel Floppy Drive

Windows 98SE
733MHZ Pent. 3
256MB PC-133 SDRAM

I have looked up drivers on sites like Driver Guide and others, but being that this is OEM machine, they keep telling me I need to go to the manufacters website to download the correct drivers. I’m at my wits end, can anyone guide me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
