RE: Setting up a new XP (help)
For checking drivers, you can go Start » Run » compmgmt.msc » Device Manager

If you see anything with yellow exclamation marks, it means you don't have the driver for it (so you'd probably need to do Google searches for them).
Never set up wireless before, so IDK.  It's probably mainly a wizard based setup.

if you already have a wifi router at your home then all you do is make windows search for it then connect to it by double clicking the name of your router. And if needed enter password

The wizard will pop up when you have the wireless thingy on and it finds wireless networks around.

Also, if you don't see nothing, you can do a fresh install, or do a repair installation.

yeah i did do a fresh install of xp already, but now i can't find my wireless settings. therefor i can't even make windows search for any wireless modems or my router.
