| 419593 | 2006-01-10 03:24:00 | I have a compaq evo D51s that didn't come with a drivers CD, and Windows update couldn't find a driver for the USB ports or the network card. I have tried looking at the compaq site, but that just confused me - so many different options & no motherboard manual to tell me exactly what components it uses. |

| 419594 | 2006-01-10 03:31:00 | I have found the compaq/hp site to be quite helpful in the past when looking for drivers - but - I can't seem to find a D51s. There is a D510 - would this be the same thing? Is it a small form factor machine? | Tukapa (62) | ||

| 419596 | 2006-01-10 03:36:00 | Or this? (h20000.www2.hp.com) Or this? (search.hp.com) Never use drivers from Windowsupdate. They'll either screw things up, or make things worse. |

| 419597 | 2006-01-10 03:53:00 | Oops. Link here h20000.www2.hp.com that looks like it. hmm. I'm sure its an intel pro/100 network card, but all the intel network drivers are gigabit. I'll try the pro/100 management software - hopefully that contains a driver. The broadcom driver didn't work so it must be intel. I've got the USB ports working now. [edit] The management software is 66mb :eek: I'll try the gigabit drivers first - see if they work before downloading such a big file. |

| 419599 | 2006-01-10 03:59:00 | Why do people buy comps that don't have driver disks? Coz usually theyre on a hidden partition or somewhere else. |

| 419600 | 2006-01-10 03:59:00 | Because we're not all as rich as you, Jack, so we buy second-hand computers. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 419601 | 2006-01-10 04:06:00 | Why do people buy comps that don't have driver disks? I didn't buy it - SIT did & they gave it to me once I completed my degree. They never opened the OEM packs so it looks like it is Compaq's fault that I am going through all this. At least they included a propper XP install CD. I've heard horror stories of people only getting restore CDs with their computers, or even worse, not getting any CDs & having a restore partition on the hard drive. |

| 419602 | 2006-01-10 04:10:00 | I have drivers for that machine (yes the D51S and D610 are one and the same, but it's a struggle to find where it tells you that). I have drivers for : USB (9.9Mb) Network Card (10.5Mb) AC97 Audio (14.2Mb) Intel Graphics (6.1Mb) If you want them, I can email if you let me know where..... |
