I recently had to reinstall Windows XP after getting struck with a virus. My system now seems to have no drivers installed for audio, video, WiFi, etc.

What can I do to restore my original drivers?There are several ways especially if you have the disc for your mother board.  Try reinstalling each one from microsoft or the manufacturer of your computer.  Most have a support/drivers site.  You can also run a program called everest whice is probably downloadable.  This program IDS all your drivers by name.  Just go to those sites.  Windows Updates can help you sometimes.  Good luck!  Thanks for the advice, but it's pretty hard to download anything when I can't access the internet because none of my internet connection drivers are installed. friends computer?save downloads to disk!!!Where are you posting from?

Do you have drivers CD, which should have came with your computer?

What's computer brand, and model?I am at work right now and I did download something from a drivers sight which claims to have all the drivers in existence. I'm going to try it when I get home.

I searched and searched but I can't seem to locate a disk with drivers on it among the disks I got when I bought my computer. The Windows XP reinstallation disk does say it contains no drivers.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501. I got a virus about a year ago and thought everything was fine after installing a virus cleaner. But I recently moved and had to set up an account with a new ISP. When I tried to log on to the internet, I couldn't connect. My system settings appeared to show a strong connection but every time I "logged on" I got the message that my I had "little or no connectivity" and I couldn't actually use my browser.

So I spent about six hours on the phone with Dell tech support and we tried everything to solve the problem. In the end, the tech support guy said I had to reinstall my operating system. So I bought an external hard drive, copied all my personal files and then reinstalled Windows XP using the disk provided to me by Dell.

When Windows was installed, it seemed to be an older version than what was originally installed on my computer. And I very quickly noticed the only Internet connection settings were for a dial-up connection. There seems to be nothing there that would allow me to set up a WiFi connection (I have a wireless router in my house and it works fine  for other systems.) There also seems to be no video capability (I tried to install a computer game and it said my video capabilities were out of date) and I have no SOUND control at all. I can't even watch a DVD in the DVD drive.

Are there places I can go online, download the drivers I need to a jump drive and then install them on my home system? Quote

If I download them to my work computer then copy them to my jump drive, is it as simple of attaching my jump drive to my home computer, opening up the drive and clicking on each exe file?

they have 40 drivers for Windows XP available for my system

You can buy a lan to usb cable.  Belkin makes one.  costs about 25-30 bucks.  You hook up your internet lan line on one end and plug the usb in your computer.  Run the usb drivers that come with the package and you'll be connected to the internet and download to your hearts content.
