Finally cleaned up my XP machine, and got it up and running.
I reinstalled XP, and did the usual, but now I am missing some drivers for it.
How can I install these drivers?
The computer is a Dell Vostro 200, and since one of the missing drivers is network, I can't go on the internet.
Thanks in advance guys.
nigga this is 2016

Go to the details tab
Change the dropdown to hardware IDs
Get the PCI VID and PID, each will be a 4 digit hex number
Google those 2 numbers and "driver xp"
Download one labeled as for XP, prefer ones with higher version numbers and without malware
Don't fall for sites that want you to download some stupid driver detective doctor shit
Since you don't have a working ethernet adapter, do it on another PC and transfer the driver on a USB stick. If you don't have a working USB controller, transfer the drivers on a CD or plug the HDD into another PC and drop the files into it like that.
You really only need the ethernet one. Get that and Windows Update should find at least some of the others. Yes, even back on XP.
