Hi all, New to this forum and a bit of a 'techno-dummy' so please excuse ***** statements when I make them, as I'm am sure I probably will.

Have aquired a 2nd user Asus M2400A laptop and cannot find all it's specs.

It had been wiped clean before I got it and I have installed XP Pro & all updates for that are completed.

It does not go through the normal dos menu on startup so cannot tell what the bios version is from that, nor can I tell what graphics card it has.

Belarc Advisor report shows Bios: Award Software, Inc. 0205 08/21/2002, (the latest version on Asus site is 0205 so am I correct in thinking I have the most up-to-date bios?)

The Belarc report also has 'None detected' under the Display heading? (Loaded a couple of games to see if graphics are ok and some things were missing (texture, colour etc.) were missing on the screen.)

There are a load of updates for drivers on the Asus site but I really am not sure which to download and install and which not to.

I have posted to the forum on their site but not many posts there get responses and am more hopeful here.

Thanks for reading this and any help is really appreciated.

Hello again,

PLEASE could someone come in with a couple answers/suggestions?

I really would like to get this laptop running as it should.

Thanks.
