Hi, just wondering if you can help or point me in the right direction. I'm not very pc literate but after formating (for the first time) my fathers computer, i do not know where to find the appropriate drivers? He cannot find the disc?
The pc's resolution is pretty ugly (16 bit graphic) with no sound.
I've used Belarc to get a snapshot of the pc in it's present state:
