    I'm hopeless at finding drivers, can you help please?

    I ran DriverDetective after reinstalling WinXP SP3 on my PC as it was freezing up and it told me I need these drivers, after a long search I got the Nvidia driver and installed it but I couldn't change my settings from 800pxX600px and 4bit colour so I rolled it back.

    Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440
    Via Bus Master IDE Controller
    HD Compliant Mouse
    Via PCI 10/100 MB Fast Ethernet Adapter
    Via Cpu + Pci Bridge
    Via Cpu to Agp Controller
    Standard Enhanced Pci to USB Controller
    USB Mass Storage Device

    I don't know what most of these are and I don't know where to find the drivers and if I'm getting the right drivers at all if I do find some. I'm really in limbo here so I'm hoping someone here can help. Thanks in advance.

    Well to start it appears to start you need the Via 4 in 1 drivers found here

    http://www.via.com.tw/en/support/drivers.jsp.

    By the way you need the older ones

    Now the video card which is done after you do the above ones is found here,

    Thank you Ferrit, is there anything else you can recommend or should that do for most/all of them?

    Quickest thing is check device manager and see what is not installed.
    But also be sure that you have SP 3 which will provide USB support

    Everything looks fine in Device Manager and I just got all the Windows Updates so everything should be fine in that regard. Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
