You made the mistake of installing a Windows operating system without first identifying the computer's devices and having the drivers available for them.
Did you install XP Pro(original version) or XP Pro SP1? If you installed the SP1 version, you can upgrade straight to SP3 and bypass SP2.

What's the complete model number of that Compaq Presario SR1910? If you don't know for sure, advise what the product number on the sticker is.
I'm guessing it's a
SR1910NX model. If it is, it came with XP Home SP2 pre-installed. The original XP drivers for it are located
here.
