Try drivermax.com its free all you need to do is register

Answer 2

Click start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Information. Click on "components" and highlight "problem devices". Any hardware device with a driver problem will be listed here. Make a note of the PNP Device ID line of the entry. It will contain a Vendor number and a Device number (VEN. . . . DEV. . . .) both four digits long.

Look up those numbers here:

This will tell you the manufacturer and the chip number.  First place to look is the manufacturer's website.  If you don't find anything there, try a driver database like Driverguide:

Answer 3

Go to DriverGuide.com and find the driver you need? it will ask you to pay for a registration or you can view a series of adds to pay for your download.... no viruses.

or

go to control panel-system-hardware-hardware manager and see if the computer shows up the name of whatever it is u dont have the driver for and if it does click on it 2x and the computer will bring a new window up.... click on the driver tab and of course it will not show the driver status as you do not have it yet but click on update river and the update wizard should search the name of the hardware on the microsoft website and once it matches a driver to the name of the hardware it will download it... it will ask you if you wish to install it or it also may install it without your consent... DONE... if this does not work well then i guess you may have to go to a popular computer store or a sidestreet shop that will hopefully sell you a cd with the driver installation that will work with your hardware series....

Bye and gd luck
