Incorrect Windows XP SP3 Drivers

[blackguyza]

I have borrowed my friend's custom windows xp sp3 cd and installed it my machine. Now my keyboard and sound, and possible other devices are not working properly.

My keyboard's @ and " are reversed. (I actually pressed <shift> ' before <shift> 2, lol).

The sound drivers that I had downloaded previously does not work, now I have installed a new VIA drivers and my computer shows as if it plays music on media player as well as system sounds but there is no sound coming from my speakers.

Change your keyboard type to US, under Regional and Language settings... set it as default.

Thanks.

What about my sound? Is it possible that I installed incorrect drivers?

Download the correct drivers and install them, you do know what they are right?

Physically open the machine and check for the motherboard model number - use this to get the correct drivers.

I was trying to avoid that. Too much work!

Edit:

Is there a way of reading the motherboard model number from Linux?

I don't have credit card hence no paypal either.

I have found the correct drivers though. How do I uninstall the wrong one and install the correct one? Every time after I said "uninstall" and then when I say "scan for hardware changes", the old driver get installed.

But the time you've found a program to do it you could have opened the PC up

Or used CPU-Z.
