no internet connection

[zanbil]

I reloaded Win XP on a new hard drive after my old one died. I have two
problems now.

1. I am unable to get an internet connection either by wire or WIFI. This
is in a house with both wire and WIFI in which other computers work fine.
When I check the drivers I find that there is a yellow question mark on all
my "other " hardware including VGA driver, ethernet, PCI sound and
multimedia. I am unable to find drivers on the installation WinXP ser2
disc.

2. My video resolution was incredibly low and when I go to display settings
I am unable to move the slider bar to a higher setting.

Help!!!!

Windows does not contain all drivers for all hardware. You have to go
to your PC manufacturer to get the specific drivers for that XP on that
model PC.
