bluecoup Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Right. Girl friends Laptop was running vista, very slow and just all round horrid. So cleaned it off formatted the drive and installed xp all good so far. Now come to get it on the net for the service packs and the drivers I'm missing. Can't the drivers I'm missing are for the LAN card, wireless card, and the usb bus to name the main ones. Tried downloading service pack 2 to desk top and copying it to a cd and using that but desk top won't burn it to the disc for some reason. From what I've found sp2 should contain the drivers I need ? It's a asus laptop and doesn't seem to have a list of xp drivers anywhere as they all come pre installed with vista. Anyone got any pointers please.

BazzaAlpine Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Does the laptop manufactures site not have the drivers separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgeer Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You used to be able to get sp2 for xp sent to you free of charge from microsoft. I did it a few years back, have a look on the microsoft website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 CHecked the asus site and the only way you can get up to date drivers is to scan the computer which I can't do cause I need drivers for the LAN and wireless. Pffft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pffft. You sure? http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us You seem to be able to select your model of notebook and get a download list of drivers.

bluecoup Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks Thorin. I spent ages looking on there and could only find the pc doctor rubbish. I'll try them out tonight if I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
