| | | Reinstalled Xp and no drivers left.
Rightee... Since google isn't my friend  I need YOUR help.
My computer started chrashing a while ago, and after a while i decided to reinstall windows, but when i decided to backup my files, windows wouldn't start. Thank you very much, Bill Gates...
So... I reinstalled windows and now all the drivers are GONE!!!
I need some help - How the heck do I get those drivers back? How do i install them?
Please note that the computer with the issues is OFFLINE, so updating with windows live update or whatever it's called won't work.

| No you didn't lose everything. If you have the documentation for your PC it's as simple as visiting the website of your PC manufacturer from a friend's or work computer and downloading all the drivers you need, then burn to CD or copy to USB key. If your PC doesn't have that support function from the manufacturer then you may need to open the case and not the make/model of your network card, or you can use a free program called Belarc to get that info (then get the drivers from another internet-connected computer). | |

| It would be easier if your system booted to the internet, then it would simply
be a matter of getting Windoze to install the correct drivers...
As a last resort use another computer to download * Belarc * to CD and
install it on driverless computer to get ( info to retrieve your drivers) , burn your
drivers on a CD and keep it handy in case you have future problems...
There are 2 programs I would strongly suggest you put on your computer
a firewall called Comodo and an anti-virus program called Avast...
Many people don't believe in protection until their computer is infected !!!
As a last resort many libraries have computers and could help you burn CD'S | |

| on your keyboard press the "windows key" next to the "ctrl" key and hold that down and press the pause break key on the top right of the keyboard once. click hardware and then click device manager. this will show you all the drivers on your computer. If you see any yellow question mark or exclamation mark it would mean you have some drivers missing. If there are none that means your windows (xp?vista?) has installed all the divers.
to updated your computer and protect it from future viruses and spyware . open internet explorer and click Tools>windows update
Run the anti spyware remove programs spybot Security News from the net: Spybot search and destroy spyware and popups
and click the immunize button in it .So it blocks bad pages from coming to your computer. | |
