Default help please with drivers

i posted this topic on another board in the forum cause i really need some help

i'm in quite a bind.
I tried 2 fix my labtop(it wasnt responding when i tried to log on). so i re-installed the operating system. Now that i did this all of my drivers are gone...

when i go to device manager it has a question mark next to my:

Ethernet controller
multimedia controller
network controller
PCI modem
Video controller
video controller (vga compatible)

Can you please help? it says there is no driver installed for all of these...
now i cant access the internet or anything special like that....
where can i get the drivers from....cause i dont even know the model or the manufacturer of the devices...ITs coming up unknown...:S

plz plz help

What OS did you install? Try to reinstall the latest Windows XP Pro. Was there any other driver disks that came with your computer?

Just go to the laptop manufacturer's website using another computer and download drivers you need, burn to a CD and load from there. Or go to the website of the device manufacturer. First one you need is the NIC driver.
