Rebuild PC
I am rebuilding another PC. I have reinstalled XP. I understand there is a
website in Microsoft for installing drivers. You put your service tag number in and it rebuilds the drivers that were initially installed. Anyone know where this is???? |

The words "Service Tag" leads me to believe you left out the words, "I have a Dell computer"... Also - you did a clean installation of Windows XP is what I assume you mean by "rebuilding another PC"? If you have a Dell computer - visit the Sell Support site, download drivers and enter the service tag when asked. Otherwise - figure out each hardware component you have and need drivers for and visit each of those manufacturer's support web pages and download the drivers direct from each one of those sites. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

That's news to me.
If the PC is a brand name (i.e., Dell), I suggest that you check the maker's web site for drivers. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Chip" wrote in message ...

Perhaps you're referring to Dell? http://support.dell.com/support/down...=us&l=en&s=gen In any event, you *download* the requisite drivers and then burn them to a CD to use on your box with newly-installed Windows. -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |

No, you understand wrong. Now, Dell can do that, but not Microsoft.
