They are not working which means you have not yet installed the correct drivers or windows built in drivers did not MATCH with your current hardware. What is your Computer model/specs? Have you installed the mobo driver(CD) or visited the website(computer brand and model no.) to download the correct drivers, if any? Go to your Device manager also and give us the specific graphic and ethernet card(marks W/ yellow or red) that is not working. You need to install the chipset driver followed by the display and sound card drivers.hi, thanx to both of you, however i am only a beginner. So can u please explain how exactly i get the info, etc?Ok...You have reinstalled right...or someone reinstalled it for you? Using a Win xp(w/ a win logo) Cd. Do you have other CD's available? Can you post them? And could you give us the Computer Model/Brand(ex. HP PAVILION a 6600 Desktop PC)? hi

yes, i reinstalled a unworking comp. Purchased second hand.

I installed windows xp home edition service pack 1 (genuine cd i have had for ages), by booting from the cd.

I do have other computer cds but i have tried them and i dont believe they are for this comp, some actually say for win 95/98, so they prob should go in the bin.

The comp model is a DELL optiplex GX620, thats what it says on the machine

You could download the recommended drivers for your Dell Optiplex GX620 computer on the Dell link/website. However, do you still have any service tag(sticker) on the desktop? It will prompt you for it so it will give you the appropriate drivers. I assume you cannot connect to the internet(or do you have?), so you might have to download and save them on a flash drive on another computer and just copy them to your Dell computer and install them. I do have the internet working. I tried to download a chipset using my service tag on computer.

However the dell download manager had to be installed first?

it downloaded but then when i went to install this is what the error bit said.
