Hello

i thought i had a virus, so i formatted my machine.. i replaced windows vista with xp pro SERVICE pack 2, it works fine and i dident have any problems except now im missing audio/graphics card/modems drivers, and when i try to add a driver "HSFAC97_winxp" or "R68591" which are GENERIC drivers for conexant Modems and Conexant RD01 - D850 In particular, The Software doesent work for one.., and none of the "unknown devices" use this set of drivers, under "Device manager" the other devices are as follows...

I wasent sure if it was PCI simple communications controller, and in windows vista after i first uninstalled the driver the modem was named in-built modem, but windows xp doesent list it. what do i do?i've also tryed HSFP_WinXP ,ive downloaded them multiple times from multiple places and still its not working? but everything ive found in google suggests this is the driver i need?Do you have the CDs for your machine? Did you get a driver CD with it?

What are the specs of your machine?

No i got this machine free as a replacement for a machine damaged by the repair people that was under warranty, its using xp pro sp2, and its an AMD athlon 64 x2 DUAL core processor 3800+ with 2.00 ghz and 896 mb of ram in a hp pavillion slimline s7700n pcSometimes it's not enough to just format your drive, try scrubbing it completely clean and then treat it to take a fresh windows installation.

I've done this at least 20-30 times, and it works every time.

You will have to put all your drivers back in, and re-install your internet settings.Quote
