Hello Everyone,

I have a IBM Thinkcentre 8115 and I just reinstalled XP and I cant seem to get a single driver to work. I had to install a USB wireless card to even get it to get online. After I got that working it started to find the drivers online but I think I hit the "dont look online again" thing because now it wont look online for the drivers. IBMs website is a joke, found my model number and everything, not a single driver has worked this far. any help would be great! thanks

Can you access any drivers under optional updates in Windows Update?

Hi

What Service Pack to XP did you install or was it the RTM base version?

In Device Manager do you have any yellow ! marks by any devices, please mention all.

The possible is that the 1st driver to install is the Chipset and other drivers may not install correctly or at all until this is installed and the PC rebooted, so if you have not tried this already then do so and the Chipset for your model is HERE

*as a placeholder the other drivers are HERE (this allow me to remember where they are) also as a note, if your XP SP is not at SP3 then you will at least need SP2 and to get audio working need the UAA HD audio driver installed before the IBM audio ADI SoundMAX driver.
