Hi everyone,
My brother has a Dell Inspiron 2200 notebook. He asked me to install Windows XP again for him because it is getting too slow. After I installed Windows XP Professional, I have to go to Dell website to download all drivers for the notebook. The only driver that I don't know which one to download is wireless adapter because it has many. So which wireless driver is right for this laptop? Is there a small free program out there that can detect all installed hardware in a computer? Thank you for any help.
