Just bought a Philips slim entertainment system, model number LRPC 7500. Very nice and swanky. Heres the catch. I don't have any kind of driver CD. I have fresh installed a copy of XP (my preference re vista). It needs drivers for pretty much everything. So far I have worked out it has a Intel 945 graphis chip, thats it. I can't seem to find any reference to this unit on the philips website.

So, does anyone know where to get drivers or the exact spec of the machine so I can seach them out.

Many thanks in advance, I'm kind of counting on you......

Download & run Belarc system advisor, That will give you a complete rundown of what's on your machine.

Edit to add, also look in device manager - right click my computer>click manage>click device manager.

Ypu wont find anything on the philips site as they don't make them. the only place where I can find any support is PC world but as they only sell it with vista installed they are unlikely to be interested as the warranty is probably voided.

The only speck I can find is here

Another system info program is ASTRA 32. I have tried Belarc but astra seems to give a bit more info. Give it a whirl it may help....
