Yesterday I reformatted my laptop which i purchased from cyberpower about a year ago. Cyberpower provided me with a XP disk but no driver disks, so i thought no problem i'll download them.
However, being a laptop the sound card, network card are onboard and i don't know what to download.
Furthermore the graphics card installed - the 8600m gs doesn't seem to have any drivers, or at least that nvdia code. I tried to download some from laptopvideo2go.com but it doesn't detect my graphics card.
This is what my device manager looks like at the moment:
Oddly, i found out what my wireless network card drivers were but have no idea what my wired drivers are.
I'm probably being as thick as shit, and the solution is more simple than i think.
The specs i got in an email from cyberpower.
