Driver Problem on Reinstallation

My apologies for the dual post, but I am desperate for a quick answer,
if someone here has one.

I have just done a recovery CD installation of XP for a Compaq EVO
N1000v notebook computer. After installing XP and doing all the updates,
including SP2, everything seemed to be working, except that I had a
couple of missing drivers in Device Manager. I then discovered that
there was a second CD for drivers, so I installed the drivers. All of
the yellow exclamation points disappeared, except that I now have yellow
exclamation points for COM5 to COM15.

I went to the web site, downloaded, and installed all new drivers to
make sure I have the latest. The COM drivers are still not loaded. They
should have loaded in the Intel chipset driver package. Does anyone know
what I should be looking for to get rid of the problem? How can I get XP
to tell me that name of the driver it is looking for to install COM5
through COM15?

Problem solved. Thanks, anyway.
