Drivers Are Gone

HawthorneKitty · 05-24-2008, 11:11 PM

I recently formatted my whole computer and installed WindowsXP. When I turned it on, I found that all my drivers were missing. I couldn't connect to the internet or anything. I'm a novice when it comes to computers, so what exactly do I have to do to restore my computer? Please help, and thank you for reading. (I'll be checking every few hours)

that's normal. now you need to reinstall all your drivers. post your hardware specs. if it's a prebuild computer, post the model number.

HawthorneKitty · 05-24-2008, 11:23 PM

Sorry, I don't fully understand what you are telling me, but the model is a "Compaq Presario SR1920NX". I hope that's what you're asking for. ._.

install drivers in order, restart when prompted
chipset; ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softwar...-1/sp26741.exe
network; ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softwar...-1/sp26744.exe
graphics; ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softwar...-1/sp26736.exe

after the internet works, run windows update

also, if you need any other drivers,request it here

Ummm thanks, but how do I get this file over to my other computer? >_>
Sorry if all of these are lame questions.

**peterhuang913** · 05-24-2008, 11:31 PM

USB flashdrive?

HawthorneKitty · 05-24-2008, 11:39 PM

Oh, I didn't know I could connect my memory stick on the back. (I'm currently on a ridiculously old computer.) Thank you.

**peterhuang913** · 05-24-2008, 11:42 PM

no problem. hope things work out

HawthorneKitty · 05-25-2008, 12:45 AM

Thank you very much, it worked, but now scrolling pages is obscenely slow... is there a reason to this?

HawthorneKitty · 05-25-2008, 01:28 AM

Never mind that, it was fixed somehow, but my problem now is on the audio...

**peterhuang913** · 05-25-2008, 10:17 AM

Go through Windows Update first.

Then try to install this: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/softwar...-1/sp26731.exe

Hm, it says that I am missing Microsoft's Universal Audio Architecture High Definition Audio bus driver...

Hi,
Here is the UAA Driver:

Install this driver before the sound driver.
