    There's a little prog called DriverMax you could have a look at. I only just found it myself, so I can't be sure if it will help you, but worth a look perhaps.

    Do you have any support CD's that came with the computer, they should be on there. If not, and this is a better idea anyway as the drivers on the CD would be well out of date. Go to the Packard Bell website, find your machine in support and download the drivers you need from there. These will be the up to date drivers.

    Heres where you need to go:

    The problem is a lot of manufacturers aren't supplying drivers for XP any more. The drivers for each individual component are usually available, the system builders just aren't putting them in one easy to access place.

    Drivermax should do the trick, but if you don't have drivers for the network card on the pc you want to sort out it'll be a bit of a chore.
