The author purchased the Asus F5Q237SL-DR notebook during the 5.1 period and bought it back after the author installed the Windows XP operating system for it. But Asus does not provide Windows XP drivers for this notebook, but only offers vista drivers. I have struggled to install all the notebook driver, I believe that can give some inspiration to the readers of similar problems.
Method One: Cynical
For this type of notebook, we can replace the Windows XP driver driver for an earlier product with similar motherboard chipset size. Because they all use the same chipset, there is no need to worry about driver compatibility issues. The majority of ASUS f5m Windows XP drivers (except for graphics drivers) apply to F5Q237SL-DR, which can be downloaded to the official ASUS website. When the download is complete, most of the problems are solved. However, because F5Q237SL-DR adopted a new mobility Radeon HD3470, can not find the relevant driver, in this case, only the installation of the revision method.
Method Two: Intelligent recognition
For users who are unfamiliar with hardware and drivers, method one is clearly not convenient. In fact, there is a very simple way to use the Drive Wizard to install the driver. The Driver Wizard version 2008 detects most popular hardware and automatically downloads the most appropriate drivers to install. In addition to installing drivers for unknown devices, the Driver Wizard can automatically detect driver upgrades at any time, keeping the hardware drivers up-to-date.
What we want to do, download the latest version of the software, installation after the selection of driver updates, in the need to update the hardware to select the video card, and on the tick, began to update. The program automatically downloads the updates and installs them, then restarts the system after the installation is complete, and all drivers can be installed.
Hint: "Drive Wizard" must be connected to the state of the Internet to automatically identify and install the driver, not connected to the Internet is unable to work. It can install drivers for all hardware devices.
