Looking for Drivers for Old Compaq Laptop

Another question about my thrift-shop-find Compaq Presario 12XL300.

I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Windows Me on the laptop, but something that didn't cross my mind was drivers. I searched Google for drivers for this laptop, and the top result was a Compaq/HP website, but it said "Model not found" or something of that caliber. The only other results were fake, generated websites (how many 16-year-old Compaq's will be running Windows 10?) that would likely only give me viruses.

Does anyone know where else I would be able to locate drivers for this laptop?

What happened to the drivers exactly? I couldn't find any info on it too. Unless the update driver from computer management doesn't work then I should be worry
