So I installed Windows XP on my OS X (10.5.5) to play some old PC games (mostly Fallout 1 and 2 to rev up for the new game) and I don't have any of the drivers installed when I launch Windows. I know this is a noob question but how do I go about doing this? I've had the toughest time navigating through this cross operating system BS and boot camp is no help so if someone could hold my hand that'd be awesome.

While booted into Windows, pop in your System Disc 1 (or Leopard disc). The driver installation process will start automatically.

When the Boot Camp Assistant is run for the first time, it prompts you to print out instructions. All of the relevant steps are covered in this documentation.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
