I noticed on one of my XP PCs that under device manager it has errors
for the VGA adaptor and COM1 and COM2. It says that there are no
drivers installed. I've tried to reinstall, uninstall, rollback,
windows update, and tried to install from the Windows disc, but it says
it can't find a driver for these.
Everything is working fine, except this KVM switch that I'm trying to
hook up, it won't switch, and I think it may have something to do with
this. Can someone tell me how to "fix" these issues? Where do I go to
get these drivers and install them? How did they get uninstalled?

The problem is they won't give me a full refund on the KVM, so I'm
trying to get this one to work. They say there's something wrong with
the OS.

They would exchange it, but I don't trust that it would work even then.
I tried it on 2 other PCs and it worked fine. So it's something about
this one PC it doesn't like, so it's not a manufacturing flaw but a
flaw inherent in their KVM that doesn't like this particular PC or OS
or something that they won't identify.

It's not the os but the bios. The kvm has to be detected before the system
boots. You may just have a bad KVM can you exchange it?
