Strangest thing... Clients computer, used P4 desktop, 1.25 Gigs RAM, Win XP (can't recall Home or Pro). Anyway, went to add some periferals, specifically a wireless mouse/keyboard and Dell printer. The mouse/keyboard should not require drivers other than what Windows comes with, as the receiver acts as the real interface and the computer just recognizes a new mouse and keyboard. Well, come to find out Windows Driver cache appears to be empty. There is not a single driver in the list in Add Hardware. The mouse and keyboard set work fine, tried on another system, didn't need to install anything. As for the Dell printer, I have the installation for that, but the installation software doesn't see the printer connected through USB, Windows does but I don't have an actual driver file, the installation file installs that so I can't do it manually, unless I can find the driver somewhere. Anyway, how do I repair the Windows Driver Cache? Thanks smart people! ~~Dylan

If it was my computer I'd do a repair install of XP. All updates and patches would have to be downloaded and reapplied though. WinSimple Software CompTIA A+ Certified

Not sure if it will work but running sfc with the appropriate windows cd might help. Insert windows cd start>run>sfc /scannow
