      Best place is usually laptop manufacturers support site although the operating system you install (WinXP, Win7 at least) will install generic drivers.

      What make and model laptop?

              Enter your model in the search bar

              your model "presario cq60" was not found when I searched for it.

              the model given may not be completeare there other numbers?

              have a look on the data plate underneath the laptop.

                    I take it you have an operating system install disk?

                    Sometimes laptop manufacturers tweak drivers for their particular needs and the generic device drivers may not work properly.

                    apologies I didn't see that you had installed XP

                          I am not familiar with this brand but you may find something here:

                          *G Shop

                          Unfortunately the site seems to be German only but I think you may find driver downloads by clicking on "Info & Support" tab then "Trieber Download" in menu at left.

                          Hope this helps
