Hi everyone,

I seem to have quite a pressing problem with my desktop.

Around a week ago I decided that I needed to update my graphics drivers for various reasons. I have a nVidia graphics card.

I began to uninstall my old graphics drivers from the Add and Remove program in Windows. However, there was something that I failed to notice. My motherboard uses nVidia nForce 3 drivers to control many very important features on my cmputer.

When I went to uninstall my graphics driver I accidentally uninstalled some key drivers on my motherboard. My motherboard is an ASRock AM2NF3-VSTA. I uninstalled the USB control, the drivers for the network card, the PS2 control and all sound drivers. All because I have an nForce 3 Motherboard. Now my USB and PS2 ports have completly stopped responding and I can't re-install the old drivers back because I can't control anything.

I'm posting here to see If anyone knows how to re-install these drivers again without entering Windows. If anyone knows a way of finding out the drivers name and to what file they should go into, and possibly how to excess the files from outside of Windows. I really need help.

Thank you.

If you have an XP CD a Windows repair will sort this.

Boot from the CD and select the second repair option.

This will keep all data, current settings and customization intact.

I thought about doing that but unfortunatly I've lost my Windows serial key, and as I remember I have to put that in somewhere along the line.
Thanks for the reply though.

you could also back up all your files onto another disk by dismantelling the machine and putting the HDD in another machine and then try reinstalling everything onto the machine. But this will also result in the no product key and is a much longer way of doing things
