Most likely the driver you're looking for is (or was) on the DVD that came with the motherboard.
If that DVD got lost in the fogs of the past (as it normally happens), the driver is probably still available for download on the manufacturer's website (have ready the MB version/ID number/model/whatever).
If you don't find it there, then you'll better brace yourself for a damn long frustrating search on the Internet Archive - but if you're stubborn enough in the end you'll probably find it :)

Yes the CD must of been with the original owner of the computer, and now lost at sea:)

But the good news is I know the motherboard is a ASUS PTGD1-LA(Puffer M-UL8E)
And the manual can be found hear https://theretroweb.com/motherboard...-mul8e-user-manual-6717d765bef20499832142.pdf

Just wonder where I would get the CD for it?

Then it's going to take some patience but there's still hope: for instance a 10-second search for "ASUS PTGD1-LA drivers" took me here. While I cannot guarantee that the link proffered there is really the one you're looking for, at least that's evidence that your driver still exists and someone else needs it too.
Unfortunately today I'm having a rather busy day, but I'm sure you can manage a thorough search by yourself. Just be careful: the internet is full of sharks and not all that glitters is gold (short for "run everything you download through a trusted AV before installing it").
Good luck!

I dont understand it! I mena i though you needed it on CD and you booted the CD from when you start the computer. I did however download the one in the link you supplied and installed it hear on win XP. and it found the missing programs but wants to charge £8.05 for it! So they must be a 3rd party, surly the manufatures would have it somewhere for free to download right?
