The last time I format the disk on the laptop 3 years ago.

It's an old ASUS
2.4 Ghz Dual Core
1 GB RAM
512 MB graphics card

I lost my DVD with drivers for Asus, where i can download it?

You may have luck looking up downloads for your laptop on the Asus support website. --Just look up the model #.

what fogman said,

sometimes companies drop support for very old machines, it isnt very likely given the age of yours,
should that be the case you can search for the technical specifications and search for the components one by one, they are usually made by other vendors that carry support for far longer.

The problem is that I can not read what it was a model, a sticker on the laptop, but the inscription has been erased, and I can not find the invoice.

Is there any program that would help me determine

You may possibly find the model # of your computer on the main BIOS screen.

I found the laptop on a sticker which says everything.

I guess I just re-install the system and all drivers downloaded via windows update.

Some laptops, like the Compaq that I had 8 years ago wouldn't install specific drivers through Windows Update, they had to be downloaded and installed from Compaq/HP's support site for that specific model. --The graphics driver was one that had to be installed this way.
