Where can i get 390x ibm thinkpad driver for windows xp can somebody give me the link

AVG antivirus 2012....

Well, Maybe your driver is not installed. With windows XP

1. Right click "my computer"

2. click properties

3. click hardware

4 click device manager.

see if there are any big yellow question marks, if so you need to load drivers.

Here is a site that list the specs I think
http://loke.as.arizona.edu/~ckulesa/tp390e/information.html

Does it have a PCIMIA slot? (I might have spelled that wrong) Does it have a USB ... either will facilitate installation of a wireless feature. It is XP or newer?

Get the equipment you need at the Big Box Store in your area.

Go to the IBM/Lenovo WEB site - support/download page and download the latest Windows XP device drivers for your model computer, Use this link: -

You can download the various drivers and then you click on and run the various driver files, they will then unzip and expand into a folder on C:\drivers Then install the various drivers from this folder.

You do not need a recovery disk, just download the drivers you need.

all hardware requires a driver
driver is an information file that tells the operating system how device works
without the driver the device cant work

when you reformatted you must not have installed sound drivers

here is a link to Windows XP version of the sound drivers of your laptop

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/license.do?filename=mobiles/1ya210ww.exe

download it
install it
reboot

and you will have sound

if you have a different operating system than windows XP, tell me and i will give you link for that

Ask the previous owner if he knows the pass, if not then search for a manual. Shouldn't be hard to find one that will help you out in 5mins.

ask your computer person where from u purchased laptop.or buy a windows operating system disk from computer shop.
