Windows XP drivers?

Question

I was having some problems with Windows XP Pro on one of my laptops so I decided to re-install it.  The re-installation went well except for when I tried to adjust the resoution of my monitor it wouldn't let me go higher that 640x480 and 16 bit.  I went into the device manager and found out that all the drivers under 'Other devices' are not installed. They include; Base System Device,Base System Device,Ethernet Controller,Network Controller,Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller,Video Controller,Video Controller(VGA Compatible).  Do i just need to download and install the drivers or how can I fix this?  Thanks

No one knows what computer you are talking about.  Do you have to install all of the drivers?   That is a hard question to answer.  It really depends on your computer model.   Intel chipset - Yes Dell system software - depends video driver - yes Network (NIC) driver - maybe - do you have a network card? Sound card - yes Modem - maybe - do you have one? Wireless network card - maybe - do you have one? Bluetooth - maybe - do you have one? Smartcard controller - maybe Touchpad - maybe - is your system a notebook? Other - depends on what you have.   You are not giving us any information about your computer.
