The best place to get drivers would be the manufacturers website. Find out
what each one of the devices is (you might have to pull them out to get exact
model numbers). Then go to the website of each manufacturer and
download/install the appropriate drivers.

The Internet.
The individual manufacturer web pages.
Their support sections.
"Download and install them."

Can you please be more specific with which devices you are having the issues
with?

i.e. Motherboard, Video Card, Sound Card etc.

The answer is still the same. You have access to the Internet - you are
posting. More than likely the computer you are posting from has a way to
get files on/off of it - CD/DVD burner, Floppy Disk Drive, External media
(like USB/Firewire devices), etc.

You need to download at LEAST the driver for the device that gives the other
computer access to the Internet. Then you can get the rest from there. If
you do not knopw - then you should look at your receipt or open the computer
and find out what hardware you have.
