hi again.
i have just wiped a pc and reinstalled windows xp on it. when i go Right click my computer, properties and then device manager i have a few yellow question marks for which i have searched for 4 hours solid to get their drivers and no joy. please some one help.
the computer is a Advent T9303. its P4 3.80GHz with 1.00 GB ram
its got service pack 2 on it and i have done the updates from microsoft.
please help
if you go to www.gtopala.com you can get siw which will allow you to identify the hardware and from there when you know the make and model of the hardware then you can find the drivers, unless you already know what hardware it is.
Once you know post back with make and model of each piece of hardware that requires drivers.
Short of that try the advent site ( If they still have a site )
this is what i get for PCI simple communicator

What do i do now mate. any ideas?
Just go to Advent website and download all of the drivers for your PC.
Chipset, audio and network drivers.
You may find some help http://www.w00tw00t.co.uk/support/index.php
The first bit of the device ID is the Vendor code (eg for your PCI Simple Comms device you've got VEN_11C1 so the manufacturer is code 11C1). so what?? Well, http://www.pcidatabase.com/ will let you find out who that is - in this case, it's Agere Systems
One of the MS updates which you might need but I don't think will be offered automatically is the HD Audio driver in KB835221.
Silly question but do you have the drivers on CD?Quote:

It would appear that you have:
TV Decoder Card (Multimedia Controller): Phillips Semiconductor
Modem (Simple PCI Communicator): Agere (was Lucent Technologies) V.92 56K WinModem
Wireless Adapter (Network Controller): Intersil Corporation ISL3886 [Prism Javelin/Prism Xbow)
Is this a laptop by any chance?
You could also try the free trial of DriverMagic to cut out the guess work
