Download them on another computer to a USB and then install the drivers on yours. You can get them from the manufacturer's website.

Basically use a USB Drive. U may not realize it but USB 2.0 is compatible to USB 1.0. It will leave a message saying (HI SPEED USB DEVICE PLUGGED INTO NON HI SPEED USB PORT). This simply just means that it will run slower on a USB 1.0 speed. I will give U a procedure on how its done. Note that U will need 2 computers for this and in case you're wondering if it will work using a MAC and your XP. Yes it will work. I recently figured this out myself and fixed almost all my drivers but I still have a few left to fix.
1 Open Start Menu.
2 Right click on My Computer.
3 click manage.
4 Open device manager.
5 If U see a yellow ? then it would mean that the driver is not installed.
6 Put Flash Drive into another computer (Windows and Mac will work).
7 go online and search for the drivers. Note that it has to be installed from the manufacturers website. I downloaded some of my missing drivers from the Compaq website.
8 Go into downloads.
9 Windows- Go to my computer and if U see a file that says downloads then that's it.
Mac- Go to downloads or open Finder and then look for downloads folder.
10 drag download file onto Flash Drive. (Note that the download file is named weirdly and May also be seen as .exe file.
11Put Flash Drive onto Windows XP computer.
12 Download the drivers that were saved on your Flash Drive.
13 Open Device Manager to see if yellow ? disappeared. If so then you are all set.
