Well, my mom comes home and dumps a Preasrio laptop on my desk and
told me to fix it. The whole thing is hosed so I reformatted.
There's no modem, and no NIC, and Compaq doesn't have the display
drivers on its website. Where am I supposed to get them?

Thanks. I imagine all their drivers are the same, since there's only
one integrated download? Now I remember why I despise Compaq...
They're worse than dealing with Chrysler. I'm surprised they don't
make you buy a new driver CD. Gateway, Dell, even Apple all have
drivers on their websites. not Compaq.
