I have a windows xp computer that has recently had windows xp re-installed so it runs faster and all that but the sound and no games work on it, because of no sound driver or video drivers. I'm not that worried about the sound driver but the reason i fixed this computer was to play games so here are a little details about the computer i found using DxDiag and can someone please tell me what to do. I'm only putting in details that i think would be useful.

you need to go to device manager, right click on the standard vga adapter device and go to properties, then look for device ids, you need to find the vendor id and device id
Then look up the device here:
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/

That will tell you the graphics card you have.
You can do the same for sound.

The screen you are looking for should look like this:

For the sound you should visit realtek website and download their latest generic HD sound driver, i am sure that will work for you and the rest you can explore this website its pretty useful http://shushak.net/
