Dell should still have all the XP drivers archived here.

Seems this is what I need. Thanks for the help folks. Best community on the interwebs.

I have an old dell latitude D620 that i have been running various linux distros on for awhile now. Well recently i decided to put win xp pro back on it so as to play some games i have on disc that ran on xp and wont run on anything else i have. The install went fine and it booted right up but it wont recognize the wireless card or the speakers on the laptop and wouldnt even let me use headphones for sound instead. The install for one of the games started but without sound i dont want to play it. What the hell is going on? Why am i having such a hard time playing these games? (anno 1503 AD the new world. and, Command and conquer red alert 2) If anyone can help me get the laptop working properly or even just come up with a way i can play these games (ive tried windows 10 and virtual machines) well, thatd be just great.

I don't have any driver discs and i cant get it online to do it that way. Does that mean i'm pretty much screwed?

Do you have a flash drive and access to the internet on another device?

Google away, my friend!

You just need to get the network driver that way, other driver you can already google and download on that computer.
