Solve : WindowsXP drivers needed.?

Answer»

Currently the Dell website is not taking any NEW POST until tomorrow so I thought maybe I can get some help here.

I have a Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop (old) that had Windows98 first edition and I INSTALLED XP today. The only issue I have now is I need what ever drivers are required to make everything else work like it did with 98. Sound, 1 USB port, mouse, etc. I know the info must be on the net somewhere but being a newbie at this I don't know where to look. I do have the drivers for 98 and disc. Will they help me?

Thanks,
Gary Dells are finicky about drivers....wait til morning and grab them frpm the Dell site...
BTW the Dell site loads fine from here...This is what I need that is showing in devise manager. In the sound, video and game controllers there is a yellow circle with an exclaimation mark next to Crystal WDM Audio Codec and in Ports the same for Communication Port (COM1).

Also, there is one USB port on the back. How can I get this to work so I can use wireless?

ThanksI only see drivers for 98 not XP on there site.....

Do you have a page where there offer the XP drivers?

If it doesn't list XP drivers chances are they never wrote them for XP for this machine...With the help of forum member EEVIAC my laptop is working with XP. I have sound and the USB port is working. I just had to go into the BIOS and enable the devices.
