Hi,
I have formatted my official laptop that was handed over to me by a previous user and was holding lots of bugs and pop ups and useless data. It was previously installed with Windows XP. I had a copy of Windows XP professional SP2 CD with me which i used for formatting and reinstallation. However, after the successful installation of Windows XP, i can't seem to hear any sounds on the laptop. Also..when i install the software for connecting to my network service provider, it does not recognize the modem. Prior to the formatting, i had installed the same software and had successfully connected to internet. Earlier, I could also listen to songs on this laptop. Not now.
I am suspecting that perhaps there are some sound and network drivers which have got removed when i formatted the machine and not got reinstalled. I don't have any other CD besides windows XP installation.
Can someone help me with this? Is this a driver related problem? Can i get these drivers off the net onto a CD and install them on my laptop? I also have a personal laptop which is currently installed with Windows XP Media Centre and successfully connected to the net. Could i use any drivers from there? Pls guide.
Thanks!
