http://www.packardbell.com/products/support.htm Rule #1: Good Computers don't go down. Rule #2: There is no such thing as a good computer.

ok ran the prog and it says mobo type is GIGABYTE GA-8SIML (3PCI, 1 AGP, 1CNR, 2 DIMM, AUDIO, VIDEO, LAN) CHIPSET SIS 650 and under display it says VIDEO ADAPTOR = SIS 315 INTEGRATED 3D ACCELATOR = SIS 315 INTEGRATED

billy, Can get SiS drivers here. For instance, a driver for a 315, and XP OS is this one. {<<that's a direct link} Good Luck, CrazyOne As said already. You can go to Dell and get it also.

thanks i now have them but i have another unrealeted problem but i will open a new topic
