Crazy Train
ok, I recently got an old pentium 2 dell latitude cpi without a hard drive. I installed windows 98 on it, but now I have no idea to download the drivers to it, let alone, what specific drivers I will need. I know I need the video, audio, modem, ect. installed, but I don't know the manufacture's or parts' names. so I am completely *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing lost on this. anybody want to help me out on getting this fully functional?
 
You should be able to go to the dell website and enter the model number. It should have all the drivers you need available for download.
 
3 step install drivers.
1)) Open Windows Device Manager. Information about how to do this can be found on document CH000833. In the Device Manager make sure the device you're attempting to install is not already listed from past install attempts. If the device is found highlight it and remove it from Device Manager to prevent any conflicts during the install.
2)) Once Device Manager looks ok reboot the computer.
3)) As the computer is rebooting an install new hardware wizard should appear if Windows detects the new hardware using this wizard you should be able to point Windows to the folder containing your drivers either on the CD, diskette, or the folder containing the files you downloaded.
