Need all driver for asus f5rseries windows xp

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers, for spare parts and service, Driver downloads and Installation Instructions as required.

This is the best way of ensuring up to date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!

I hope this helps.

Asus f5r audio

Hi there.

You should be able to download and install your drivers from the Asus website here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Product: Notebook
Series: F5 Series
Model: F5R

Then a pop-up window will appear asking for your Operating System, just select WinXP.

4th on the list are the audio downloads. If you click on the + sign, you'll see that there are 3 downloads. Download and install each one in turn.

Hope that helps.

Audio driver

Go to Asus website.Find product support and/or downloads and put in your model number or serial number and then get only the drivers for XP.If it has a chipset driver among them be sure to install it first in order for all the other drivers to work properly and without problems.
