1122222	2010-07-25 00:26:00	Hi! I just bought a WINDOW XP SP3 Professional, before installation. Can anyone tell me what to do after i backup all my files and data homework. After i installed, do i have wifi network? Sound and movie? Do i need any driver backup? What driver backup software is nice to be used and easy understand? Im very stupid in this kind of computer stuff. Please mind to help me? Thanks =D	kakashihang (15846)

You'll have to install them after you've installed Windows XP So, before you format, you'll have to find out what the brand/model of the computer is, then go to the site, search for the model. Then download the sound, network, wi-fi drivers (if its part of the system). There's probably driver backup programs around, but they're probably not free forever. I would just download the drivers you need, BEFORE you format. Copy them to something, then install them after. Then install the rest of the windows updates	Speedy Gonzales (78)

You'll have to install them after you've installed Windows XP Not quite 100% correct :p If the PC has older hardware, "Sometimes" Windows XP SP3 will load in its own default drivers. These include Audio, graphic and network -- it wont usually load in Wireless. I've just done one install this morning as a hardware test, and XP SP3 loaded in the lot. It pays to download the new drivers from the motherboard manufactures site before you wipe the drive and save them to either a CD or USB drive.	wainuitech (129)
