    My friend has an Emachine T3085 and reinstalled Windows Xp. The problem is she doesn't have any driver cds and there is no sound and internet. I looked for some drivers, but I come up short. Can anyone help please?

    Chipset driver (ethernet, etc) http://www.majorgeeks.com/NVIDIA_nForce_Unified_Driver_Windows_2000XP_d4299.html or here http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_udp_winxp_5.10.html
    Audio driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_audio_4.62_win2kxp.html
    Video driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71_2.html (this is for the built-in on board video. If using an AGP or PCI video card, this driver may not work).
    If these don't work, be sure to post, and I'll see what I can do...
    Good luck!
    ...and Welcome to MajorGeeks! :major

    Oh yeah... if these drivers work, be sure to burn them to a CD for future use, to avoid the whole "search and download" routine ;)

    Thanx for all the help and suggestions guys. All the drivers worked just fine. I'm pretty sure I thought at first the ethernet one wasn't cause it wouldn't find it. Then i looked for myself she has a wireless card so I need to find the driver for that now lol, but that one won't be hard I think just need to figure out what kind it is.

    And i saved it on a a couple 2cds one for her to hold another for me to and my portable harddrive just in case lol.

    and thanks for the welcome this place rocks!...

    :cool I'm glad my links helped. The wireless card should be easy as long as it has a name brand on it, and a part/model number. If you run into a wall, just post the card's make and model, and I'll see what I can do ;)

    @ Burkleo: please start your own thread. Tagging on to a different thread (also called "hijacking") is not a good idea: it confuses the thread starter, people offering advice get confused as to who they're helping, and help suggestions get mixed up as they may be aimed out the original thread starter, and not you, or vice versa. Besides, thread hijacking is against forum rules. So, start off by reading this article then start your own thread please. :-D
