Chipset XP Drivers For Computer Built For Vista
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? Computer: HP Pavilion A1510y Chipset: ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 For Intel Processors CPU: Intel Pentium4 HT (3.0GHz/800MHz) 2MB L2 Cache MB: Asus RC 415ST-HM (Athena5-GL6) |

Chipset XP Drivers For Computer Built For Vista
That last post is a joke...HP when it does offer any software,its probably
outdated...HP usually goes with intel hardware,if thats on youre MB,go to intel.com,downloads,chipset software,locate the chipset installation utility for youre MB,the latest ones arent always the best,you can/should find what MB intel has with the same chip,go to its page or at downloads,select desktop, enter intels MB #...Once the chipset utility is downloaded,get the video display download,install 2nd.

Chipset XP Drivers For Computer Built For Vista
RAH wrote:
The chipset is made by ATI. I would say in general terms, that for these boxes that ship with Vista, you can find a lot of WinXP drivers, by going to the chip manufacturer's web site. Or even scrounging around the Dell web site, for some of their downloads. In most cases, you can find a way to fix it, but it takes a bit of work and search time. The Express 1100, might consist of RC415 Northbridge and SB600 Southbridge. The Dell Optiplex 320 appears to use the Express 1100 chipset. I went to the Dell site, and looked for drivers for the Optiplex 320. https://support.dell.com/support/dow...atid=&im pid= This 53.4MB download, is an Express 1100 video driver for WinXP. ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/video/R165416.EXE There is a 4MB download, for an SMBUS driver. I'm not sure why that is so big, or what that might help with. http://ftp.us.dell.com/chipset/R134873.EXE So the pickings are pretty thin. I presume the default Microsoft driver would work for storage on SB600, as long as the BIOS is set properly. Audio will be more of a problem. I'd give the Realtek driver a start, because the HP description of the ECS RC415ST-HM (Alhena5-GL6) motherboard, says it has an ALC888 CODEC. And the README file here (80KB) lists the ALC888. Usually, in the Realtek installer, there are the rudiments of KB888111 UAA driver, and if that is not enough, you'd have to go to the Microsoft site and get it, or the later UAA version. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs (HP description of the ECS RC415ST-HM motherboard.) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN It helps a bit, to have enumeration info for the missing bits, so at least you can see whether there is support inside a driver or not. And taming the Express 1100 will require every bit of intelligence you can get. Paul |

Chipset XP Drivers For Computer Built For Vista
The ATI drivers for that chipset should be these ones:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca.../integrated-xp Note that these ATI "integrated" video drivers are a different download than regular ATI video drivers which don't have the mobo chipset support. Ideally the motherboard chipset drivers should be installed first so that other hardware is correctly identified by the OS. Accoding to specs, audio and LAN are realtek chips, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...dlc=en&lang=en You could also use software like Everest, FreshDiagnose etc. to identify the chipset and other hardware components installed in the machine.

I presume the default Microsoft driver would work for storage on SB600, as long as the BIOS is set properly. Audio will be more of a problem. I'd give the Realtek driver a start, because the HP description of the ECS RC415ST-HM (Alhena5-GL6) motherboard, says it has an ALC888 CODEC. And the README file here (80KB) lists the ALC888. Usually, in the Realtek installer, there are the rudiments of KB888111 UAA driver, and if that is not enough, you'd have to go to the Microsoft site and get it, or the later UAA version. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Audio%20Codecs (HP description of the ECS RC415ST-HM motherboard.) http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN It helps a bit, to have enumeration info for the missing bits, so at least you can see whether there is support inside a driver or not. And taming the Express 1100 will require every bit of intelligence you can get.

Ideally the motherboard chipset drivers should be installed first so that other hardware is correctly identified by the OS. Accoding to specs, audio and LAN are realtek chips, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...dlc=en&lang=en You could also use software like Everest, FreshDiagnose etc. to identify the chipset and other hardware components installed in the machine. Download the XP drivers for each from the respective manufacturer's websites.. wrote in message ... On Friday, November 16, 2007 1:12 PM Brian A. wrote: Glad to hear/see a resolution.
