    XP drivers

    Before doing a re-install of Xp what is the best way of getting the drivers currently being used as I'm not sure if some have been delibertly kept "old" due to compatibility.

    Thanks

    There's no better way than visiting the relevant manufacturers websites & downloading what you need. Mobo, Vid card, Sound card etc

    Thanks. So there is no way of retrieving what is already on the system?
    I am only curious as in Device manager it lists a path.

    The best way is to archive current drivers on a separate partition for your stuff. Here I keep all the current drivers and software programs in their relevant folders so that I know what versions I was using before.

    there is a program that will svae all your drivers, do a google and you will find something, but as stated, visit the web sites and get all the latest ones, you may even gain an improvement having the latest drivers

    There's a program called "My Drivers Pro" that can gather and save your old drivers.
