I just did a total format and re installation of XP. I had some sort of bug that I could not get rid of, (words lagging key strokes).

Anyway its finally fixed. Files lost but thats ok, I can live with that.

The only thing I am still showing that isn't 100% correct is when I go to hardware in Device manager it shows the yellow ? under "other devices" and Base system device, PCI Device and SM Bus Controller are in the drop down menu and have yellow ? next to them.

I tried to download the drivers going through Device manager but as I don't have the drivers cd I get nothing.

I am not sure what these items control but the laptop seems to be in good health, other than random disconnects from the internet. I am not sure if that is because of those above items or something else.

Any ideas?
