how to find the correct Devices after reinstall of XP

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I reinstalled XP on my wife's bosses Dell 2400 and when finished I can't
find the model and numbers for the devices so to get the correct drivers..
All paper work is missing on this computer and in Device manager is doesn't
give for example which video card is installed, need to know all devices for
updates.. is there a program I can run that will identify my particular
devices?

Windows key+pause/break / hardware tab / click on 'device manager'.

If you don't see any yellow "!" or "?" indicators of problem devices, then
there's no need to look up drivers.

I agree that Belarc PC Audit ( a free download) will do pretty well in
ID'ing your installed hardware and software.

Wow nice,,, this isn;'t my "job".. what an @$$... never been slammed at this
Dell newsgroup in the 7 years I've been here...
Yes I have the dell drivers disc but it has drivers for multiple devices in
the same category (such as different Drivers for different model
soundcards).. and yes in device manager there are " yellow "!" or "?".....

Just go to Dell tech support and plug in the service tag. Look at the
original configuration.

The Dell Dimension 2400's are based on a variant of the Intel 845 chipset, so go
to www.intel.com , enter the downloads section, download and install first the
basic 845 chipset drivers. Next, download and install the 845 graphics drivers.
The latter will not work properly until the former are installed.

Modern (Pentium I or later) Intel chipset drivers will work with most any brand
of motherboard. The Dimension 2400 board uses an Intel design, but another
contract manufacturer such as Foxconn cranks out the actual boards.

OHH yes I nearly forgot you must load the Intel chipset drivers 1st and then
reboot before you load anything else
