unknown drivers...

Any ideas how to find name of my video card and sound card driver?

After I format my pc, the only left is install drivers.... But I lost my graphic driver CD and I dont know what brand, type, and name of the display driver. So any other ways to know information of the display driver in order to find the suitable driver from internet and install it....?

I believe Sandra can tell you what kind of video card you have if there is no display driver loaded. I'm not sure about the sound card but it's worth a look. If your machine isn't new then Everest also may be able to tell you.

Is either your video or sound onboard/integrated? If it is all you need to do is look up the make and model of your motherboard - the specifications will tell you exactly what the video and/or sound is without having to open the case.
