I have a 2003 ibm thinkpad t40 2373. i recently installed windows xp media center version 2005 with update rollup 2. the programs and drivers are not on this disk and i have no other operating system on disk. i now need the following drivers- ibm thinkpad fast infrared port, ethernet controller, multimedia audio controller, pci modem, video controller (vga compatible), and unknown device. please help me figure out a way 2 get these drivers without getting online with my ibm. ive checked alot of web sites for driver downloads but they all want me to scan the computer im using. thank you so much for taking time to help me solve this problem.

if you have the OS installed then that tells me you need the sound card drivers. Go to this page:

http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=2684&l=en&s=pub&ServiceTag=&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P4_8400&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=&impid=

Choose your operating system, then go underneath where it says audio and choose the one that says driver.

Download it and then install it and you should have sound then.

What operating system you are using? it should be 'rollup 2 windows xp for media center 2005' and your player should be 'windows media player 11' then install creative centrale version 1.4.5.0.

hope it works!

What is the Dell model name?

Did you put in and install the drivers from the drivers CD that comes with the PC? The drivers are on a separate CD from Windows and need to be installed separately after Windows is finished.

If you've gone through the driver installs, including the graphics driver, and you still get the message, post back and I'll help you find the right driver.

Hope this helps!

if drivers installed device is looking for wifi manager which is the software package for wifi.
you can goto control panel open administrative tools select sevices and scroll to wireless zero config and press start.
this will then use windows settings.done

Put in the cd with drivers and utilities already installed on your computer. Some of the programs might have been corrupted or not installed in the first place. Install the programs and you should be able to open your picture files.

Sounds like you have a real mess there that you can lose a lot of time trying to solve. I'd suggest saving all your files to another drive, and then reinstall the OS and only allow the system to update through the Windows update manager/web site, which should be able to match up the right update files. Do all this patching of the OS without installing any other hardware devices to keep it clear where things go wrong. Once the OS is patched completely, install new hardware and patch it separately watching for the tell-tale incompatibilities with XP/MCE2005. Especially watch for legacy devices that might not have modern drivers.

Hope this helps - good luck...

• try installing the necessary video codecs required to playi.e., based on which format your tv tuner plays,also install the software once again from your tv tuner cd

i would suggest that you either roll back your driver for the graphics card or do a system restore to a date previous to when the drivers were updated, this wil show in the system restore dates boxes. You are probably running the generic windows driver for your graphics, it's better to see what updates you are installing before updating any hardware drivers.
