Reinstall WinXP - missing drivers

Purchased a refurb Dell XPS 400, loaded WinXP, installed Chipset driver, NIC driver and now there is a PCI device with a "?" in the Device Mgr.  What driver do I need?

This is the link for some drivers from the Dell download site for your system

I have been to the download listing site for my machine and have downloaded and installed anything that seemed to closely fit this situation.  I did install the chipset first and then the Desktop support system and after that I couldn't tell you the order.  I originally had multiple "?" on my Other Devices list in Device Mgr and now am down to only the PCI device with a "?".
 
So I may have been out of order but from what I read on the boards the chipset was the main thing to do first.  Will there be a problem to reinstall all the drivers again in the exact order recommended or will that cause more harm than good?

Yes you can try that, but you may have to clean install XP again, following the order this time.
