Prob with emachine?

because_I_can

Hi,
Id appreciate some help here please.
A mate got an emachine 5260 for xmas and then chucked out ALL the cds. It then needed a format and reinstall of win xp which ive done fine but now i cant find the drivers for audio, video, lan, modem etc

i rang pcworld and they said it'd cost me 80euro so no way. they directed me to this site to find the spec but thats not the best as it doesnt say where i can download the actual setup's from

then chucked out ALL the cds

One good clip round the ear deserved there...

Time to hit Google and search for the drivers.

Everything you need is here , surprised you didnt google the motherboard name , it came up first on the list ,

When audio is integrated onto the motherboard the motherboard drivers are what you want , they are all listed here on this page for download.

excellent thank you.
i did google but im only on dialup so its very hard to find the right one.

because_I_can

right well i still dont have the modem driver but i've downloaded loads of different smartlink drivers so im hoping that one will do the trick. i cant test until the weekend tho and im only on dialup then at home so it will be a disaster if they arent the right ones...
thanks

Well according to this you don't get cds. You simply press F11 on startup to activate the recovery process unless you deleted the recovery partition.

i had to format the drive. but i didnt know about theat f11 until last week. i tried it and its gone now.
my mate just basically went onto every p0rn site ever and had 1000s of diallers and everthing on the pc so it wouldnt even boot into windows even in safe mode. no choice but to format.
i didnt realise at the time tho that he had binned the cds...

because_I_can

id like to bump this up.
I've found drivers for everything bar the modem. Its a smartlink ccom v92 modem.
I dl'ed like 6 or 7 exe's for smartlink modems but none were compatible.
As i can recall the smlink.com site had a universal driver but that site seems to have changed recently...
Help appreciated!

I had an e-machines till last week when I sold it. The Tri-Gem motherboards they use are rubbish, my one didn't accept any ATI upgrades, only nvidia AGP cards. BIOS updates are non excistent and the support offered by PC servicecall doesn't fit the bill. You have been warned.

I got most drivers I needed for an emachines 5240 by taking the sticker off the motherboard and discovering an Intel D915GAG label. Got the drivers from Intel website
