Default Chipset XP Drivers For Computer Built For Vista

RAH wrote:
I bought a debranded HP computer with no software installed. Just a
blank hard drive. The computer was originally built to be sold with
Vista. I installed XP Home and updated to SP2 and the latest critical
updates. I have been able to get most things working OK with XP
supplied drivers, except for the motherboard. It has integrated audio
and video, and I can't install my monitor driver without getting the
XP version of the motherboard chipset.

I went to the HP site and all the drivers are available there. Except
that they were all written for Vista. I tried to install a couple and
get an error message that I have the wrong OS. I went to the ATI site
and looked up the chipset, and they said I need to contact HP. Going
in circles. Where can I find an XP chipset driver?



If HP doesn't offer them, then you won't. Period.
