Fixing issues after new windows xp installation

After I installed Windows XP, there was nothing in the Network Connections so I could not connect to the Internet using my router. Also sound was not working and some games were not working.

How to fix this
You need to install the drivers for the motherboard.
You first need to find out the model of the motherboard.

• You could open up the computer and check the model number written on the motherboard.
• Check the specification of your computer. Maybe the invoice for the computer contains a list of components.
  

For example my motherboard was an "Intel D915". So you just go the google and search for "Intel D915 drivers".

So on the Intel website, there were 4 drivers

1. A driver so that the basic components on the motherboard work correctly
2. A sound driver
3. A network driver (This created a LAN network connection)
4. An advanced graphics driver. I believe for the on-board graphics card

So after installing all those drivers, everything is working fine.
