    After formatting XP on an old computer. I seem to have lost the drivers for it. It is an RV370se/t/128m. Can anyone point me in the right direction to downloading them.

    Do you mean you installed XP on an old computer, and you formatted the hard drive first?

    Which drivers are you missing?

    How do you know they are missing?

    RV370se/t/128m is for a a graphics video adapter, according to the following site, which also has a driver for it. Is that the driver you're missing? I don't know if it's any good.

    You will see that the driver is compatible with W98, and some people have found it OK with Vista, so you might be OK, if that's what you're after..

    Thanks for the support.

    Yes your are right it is the graphics card that i cannot find the drivers for. I think it is an RV370se/t/128m

    I have tried that site and you have to register, done that and no response so do not know whether it is a dead site.

    can you run the listed report and post same so we can see exactly what video card you have. That way we can better research your driver

    Here's a driver for you:

    Uploading an Everest hardware report as an attachment to a future post is a good idea. If you just did a clean XP install, there's a good chance that you're missing other drivers too.

    @ GCWesq: for future reference: please do not post links to ANY "bioticaindia" links/sites. They are a shady outfit to say the least, and may (or may not) be a borderline malware site. I have ended up there a few times myself looking for drivers and have always had to back out for one reason or another; from what I remember (it's been a while) the reasons were security related and something at their site made me think bad things were on the way... but I did use your link above, and it looks like they might have changed their ways; it looks much more respectable than it did a few months ago, so I could be totally wrong about them. In any case, if we can get known good drivers from a known manufacturer, that is always preferable to a 3rd party site (this includes driverguide and similar sites). Thanks for helping though!
    :-D

    Thanks for all your input,

    I have managed to sort out the problem. The card itself was loose and not performing properly.

    The old loose-card-in-the-slot trick.
    Good you got it sorted. :)
