Hi right where to start i have formatted my hard drive because i didn't like windows xp and i wanted to put windows 2000 on,
So everything was going well till i realised that i did'n't have the drivers what where supposed to come with the comp, right i thought i will see if the supplier will send me them no luck they would only send out the ones for windows xp , he suggested that i should look on the internet for them, so i said great how do i get on the internet with no modem drivers he said "he dunno" and he asked if i had any friends with a comp connected to the internet so i said yes and i managed to get them
Right so back to the plan
i found out what drivers i needed
Ati radeon 9200 (RV280se) video card 128mb ddr with 2x Tv-out
Sound card is a Sigmatel C-major (STAC97N)
Chipset is SiS65X AGP filter and usb Patch
Great i thought not having a clue what any of them mean't but i thought i will type them in the search engine and see what comes up, to my surprise they all came up saying 2000/xp driver i thought nearly there then so i started to download them which took about 2 and half hours on my ever so fast 56k modem
i was ready to install and i tried the first one it said i needed windows NT version 5.01.2600 or later
anyway what my question is has anybody downloaded any of the drivers for windows 2000 that could possibly send me the link straight to it so that i don't have to just do trial and error with each of them
Thanks for any help craig
p.s if not should i just go and throw the pc through the shop window i bought it from and buy an Apple mac
