Need Help Finding Missing Drivers for Linspire to Win Changeover

    Hello everyone,

    I just recently purchased a GQ3121 EliteGroup Computer which included an install of Linspire 4.5... Which might have been ok, if they didn't try to charge me for free software. Oh, and it didn't come with any kind of restore disc that I can find...

    So, I stripped it of Linspire and installed Windows 2000 Pro. (I don't have a legal copy of XP just laying around...) - I had a lot more problems than I expected doing this, but I got it done.

    It runs just fine, with the exception of some VERY important drivers. When I go to device manager, here's the list of what it says the problem is.

    Ethernet Controller
    Multimedia Audio Controller
    PCI Device
    Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller
    Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

    I also ran a couple of reports from Sisoftware Sandra:

    Performance Tips
    Notice 224 : SMBIOS/DMI information may be inaccurate.
    Warning 2507 : Mainboard has too few memory slots. Upgrading the memory may be difficult or expensive.
    Tip 2511 : Some memory slots are free so the memory can be easily upgraded.
    Warning 100 : Large memory sizes should be made of Registered/Buffered memory.
    Tip 2513 : AGP Bus is unused or AGP card not fully AGP compatible.
    Tip 2525 : Current AGP data rate not optimal.
    Tip 2524 : AGP Aperture size should be less or equal to system memory.
    Tip 2 : Double-click tip or press Enter while a tip is selected for more information about the tip.
