newly installed [but some drivers are missing]

Hi,
I just installed windows Xp Home sp2 on my laptop. In devcoce manager there are Video Controller and Multimedia audio controller that both have a yellow questionmark next to them. I do not know the makes or anything about them. Is there any way to find out without opening the laptop?

Thanks for hewlp in advance.

 

Thanks for your reply and thanks for editing, I'm new to this!

But, Thats exact;y the problem... this laptop is new today so i do not know what the maybe onboard video is. No idea about the manufacturer or model.

Is there any way to tell this without opening the laptop?

 

Hi dale456654, Are you using your new laptop to get on the Internet? If so, Google Lavalys or Everest Home Edition and download free version. Open and run this program and it will tell you all you want to know about the inside of your computer. The other simple way is to go to XP >Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information. It should open on System Summary>click on plus sign Components. If you then click on Display, it will tell you what Graphics card is installed and what type. Hope this helps.Neil.

 

Thanks for he replies i tried system information but when i clicked display therewere no infromation about it whatsoever

Yes this laptop does have some stickers on it, theseall say "Fujitsu Siemens Computers ".

These are the specs:

Any help is really appreciated, Thanks.

Edit: On EVEREST Home Edition ordisplay it says, Display >GPU > "VIA/S3 Unichrome Pro Integrated "?

 

hey thanks everyone.

I downloaded the drivers from fujitsu-computers.com after noticing the model number on the bottom

Thanks for everyones help again! and whoever suggested EVEREST Home Edition.

 

I got the free version, after gogoling.

 

Hi dale456654, Glad to see you got the info from System Tools. I also use Belarc Advisor which is free and gives you all your comp specs. I find it handy as it tells you whether all the MS updates are installed correctly. I hope you got everything working properly with the Driver download. Neil.
