In Windows XP Professional there is a tool called Driver Query. (This tool is not available in Windows XP Home.) This tool, when run, will provide you with a list of all local drivers. – You might even see some drivers that you didn’t even know existed.

To run Driver Query; open a command prompt window, (Start>Run and type “cmd”.) and type “driverquery” on the command line at the command prompt.

Driver Query displays the results in a table in the command prompt window.

If you wish to save the results to a csv file so that you can open them in a spreadsheet, you can do so by typing the following on the command line. (Do not include the inverted commas themselves.): -

“Driverquery /v /fo csv > drivers.csv”

This will save the table in comma separated values to the file drivers.csv .

…And that’s the way it’s done. Please take note, once again, that this will only work in the Professional version of XP. – If you run Windows XP Home then I’m afraid that doing this just won’t produce results.
