SM Bus Controller
I had to reinstall Windows XP Home on a Dell Dimension 2400 because it was running incredibly slowly.
Ended up with Yellow ?!s beside several devices when I checked Device Manager. Fixed everything (by pointing 'Update Driver' to what appeared to bethe correct folder under C:\Drivers) However, nothing works for this item (SM Bus Controller). There is a SonyUSB folder in C:\Drivers but when I select that one, it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thank you KodiakBear |

Download the motherboard utilities driver(s) from the Dell website.

Any suggestions? Thank you KodiakBear -- kodiakbear How did you do this re-install the XP? With a Dell Recovery "system" (CD or partition) or a true XP install CD? Head over to Dell's support web site and locate / download the drivers for your model. |

An alternative source for the SMBus driver for the Dell Dimension 2400 is
Intel's Chipset software. It is available here Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Prod...D=816&lang=eng -- Jason Tsang - Microsoft MVP Read my blog for the latest in Media Center topics (and other topics that interest me) http://jtsang.blogspot.com More information by me http://jtsang.mvps.org http://www.classicsunveiled.com Find out about the MS MVP Program - http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx "kodiakbear" wrote in message ...
