madboy33 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Great mins think alike eh nellsI am just thinking what i can burn to disc, in the way of drivers so i dont have to come all the way back home to download them and go back there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 well it is a bit difficult without knowing what the specs are. If I were you I would make sure that you have the drivers they are using at the minute, then you can at least re-install them. Take a note of what hardware they have then do a search for some updated drivers when you get home and just drop them off next time you are there... at least this way they will have some drivers that work even if they aren't up to date.
