Display Drivers for a Compaq Presario 1200 1200-xl110

Well, my mom comes home and dumps a Preasrio laptop on my desk and
told me to fix it. The whole thing is hosed so I reformatted.
There's no modem, and no NIC, and Compaq doesn't have the display
drivers on its website. Where am I supposed to get them?

Thanks. I imagine all their drivers are the same, since there's only
one integrated download? Now I remember why I despise Compaq...
They're worse than dealing with Chrysler. I'm surprised they don't
make you buy a new driver CD. Gateway, Dell, even Apple all have
drivers on their websites. not Compaq.

 

I have the display and audio drivers. Now I need the modem, and PCI
to ISA bridge driver. I'm guessing the "PCI communications device" is
the modem I can't finr drivers for, and I don't know how to explain
the PCI ISA bridge. I don't understand why its not on their website.

 

Download a program called AIDA32.

The link is http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php

You can run the program accross a network or from a CD ROM

Use this tool to find out the chipset of the drivers you are missing
and download the necessary drivers from the chipset manufactures.

$10 says you have a Lucent WinModem, Google "generic lucent modem
driver" and that should work for you. Its available on Agree/Lucent's
web site.

 

I think I have it. I found another person with the same problem. I
downloaded those drivers and it rowked. Now I have another device in
Device Manager I can't find... "PCI standard ISA bridge" Yellow
exclebation point. I don't know where to get the drivers for
that.
