I have just had to reinstall Windows XP Home. In Explorer under Local Disc, there used to be just one Windows folder. I now have two. One is titled Windows. the other Windows 0.  Why? Some of the files within them are different.

    okay do this:

    Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

    msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All (Ctrl-A), Copy (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    You can edit out any personal information.

    also expand components, and expand network and copy/paste that info also, your motherboard should be listed in the system summary


    also you can download Belaric on your 7 pc to a flash drive, take to the xp and then install. :)

    I typed Nvidia nForce Networking Controller version 4.3.3.0 (2004) but there appears to be no way of knowing which one is needed on the Nvidia site. I also seem to have come full circle. The reason I had to re-install XP in the first place was because downloads kept freezing and when I retried, I would loose my connection. It has made no difference, so I can't download Belarc advisor.

    I do not know exactly, I would not want you to totally screw up your pc.

    1. when you searched for a driver update, did you type in Nvidea or Nvidia?
    2. it might make a difference.
    3. John suggested Belarc advisor to discover the motherboard manufacturer, please do so,

    Sorry to be a pest Elizabeth when you are being so helpful but apart from 32 bit or 64 bit, none of the numbers tally with mine, presumably because they are updates. Should I choose the one with the latest date or only one with the same beginning number of mine ie 4. something
