I have a packard bell pc, windows ME, I formatted it and lost all the drivers. I do not have the original software. I installed Windows 98 SEdition, but lost: Video drivers, Modem, sound. I formated and installed a windows ME, Got back my drivers excluding modem.

Q1: How can I find all of the drivers on my pc?

Q2: How do I know what my peripheral names(Modem, cpu, motherboard) are?! Without opening my pc.

Q3: Since I got my drivers when W.ME was installed, can I put back windows 98 S.E. and get drivers from ME?..

Thank you.

This program will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about your system
http://www.belarc.com/

It's free and it works but it sometimes upsets ME a little, so set a system restore point before you start and then uninstal the program after and do a restore.

Then just get your drivers from the manufacturers' websites, or visit

... and maybe one day you can get rid of Packard Bell, who should be ashamed to build computers.
