    I have a 3150 model Averatec laptop I want to reinstall Windows XP. Does anyone have an idea where I can find the drivers for this laptop? I have already been to http://www.trigem.com/us/support/drivers.asp but that page doesn't seem to be working correctly, not allowing me to select any models from the drop down.

    Does Win XP have drivers for this laptop already?

    Thanks

    Once you reinstall windows, go to the device manager (right click 'my computer', select properties, go to hardware tab, click device manager), go to the properties for any device that does not have a driver (has a yellow warning sign by it), click update driver, and allow windows to search windows update for the drivers. I just did this on my 3150P and all the drivers were found.

    Averatec was no help at all. I got an automated response to an email saying my email wasn't authorized. I'll never buy another one.

    Sorry about that. Well, try this
    TriGem
    Click on Notebook and then 3200 series. I know, yours is a 3150 but I'm 99% sure they will work for you. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
