Laptop Crash

For some unknown reason my laptop crashed while loading the Orion Guider drivers. I was unable to reboot the computer in any mode (safe, last known safe config etc) I had to reinstall windows XP onto my laptop from my desktop version. (the laptop did not come with any disks). Only problem is my latop had preinstalled drivers etc for the wirelesss network card and video card etc and all the drivers for these have disappeared.

HELP !!

Sounds like a hardware conflict or something died .... not good.

I haven't installed my Autoguider yet .... has any once had a similar problem under XP (SP2) ?

What is the brand & model of the notebook? They should have the drivers available online somewhere.

Yeah, you should be able to download the drivers. Only problem you'll have is that most of them have a number of different drivers for each device in one particular model of laptop. All ya can do is best guess it. Go for the network driver first, broadcom seems common, and once you get that going, try getting it to find the rest of the drivers automagically on line. Might work, probably won't
