first of all, thank you

i have a nobilis computer that was given to me with a bad hard drive, i put a 40gb hard drive in it out of another computer i had and reinstalled windows xp pro service pack 2 ....celeron 2.4ghz 256mb ram

the video and audio componants are intergrated into the motherboard, not like a card, so i can't find out what they are to get information on the drivers for them...can anyone tell me how to find out what they are..or a good website i can go to that will tell me.....so far all i have found are sites that want me to pay for a downloader that will tell me what i have, but then they don't offer me a driver....why should i pay for them to anylize my computer but then not offer me a driver?

any help appreciated
john

ps right now i only have low resolution 16 colors, no sound

Post back with the details of your system manufacturer and model, or motherboard and we'll find those missing drivers.
The motherboard chipset drivers are the ones you need; they are the most important and should always be installed first.

i finally found a video driver by going to intel and getting one there, i still couldn't find a audio driver so i went to staples today and bought a pci sound card.....$19.95 works good and came with a driver. problem ended for now.....john
