This part is self explanatory. You have a P2 which is very old technology
and most games if any will not play on it and if they do, they won't play
well. You didn't mention who much RAM your system has or the operating
system. You may have bare minimum Ram.

This feature is for adding hardware manually that may not be plug and play.
There is some hardware out there that you have to install manually.

Do you have this card installed in the computer? When you said it appeared
in "Device Manager" was there anything like a red circle with a line through
it or possibly a yellow exclamation mark? You may be able to install some
drivers and hardware according to the "Add New Hardware" however if the
hardware isn't installed you won't be able to use those drivers. You may
receive error messages like the one asking you for "the cards entry" Which
you don't have so therefore the installation is incomplete. Just because
there is a list of hardware and you choose one doesn't mean it is the one
you have installed. You have to install the drivers according to the system
package.

Given the age of your computer there may be nothing you can do in this area.
You may give some consideration to adding more RAM however getting back to
the age of the machine, it might not give you any performance edge when it
comes to playing modern day games that require higher speed processors or
better video cards.

Another aspect to the mix is the fact you indicated that your computer is a
"laptops, as mine is a Compaq". Back in the day when the system was new it
could just about hold it's own. Back then laptops were much slower than
desktops so I wouldn't expect any miracles with the system.
