XP Drivers for C 500 Presario notebook.

jimaearl · Dec 18, 2009, 06:13 AM

I bought a laptop which was loaded with VISTA and was not very happy with it. So I deleted it and formatted the drive and loaded Windows XP.
However my laptop did not come with any motherboard disk and so I do no have the drivers fo XP.
I currently need SM Bus Controller, Video Controller and VC (VGA compatible) drivers as they show up in Yellow on my System Hardware.

Can anybody please help me to overcome this problem

You're just begging for trouble when trying to hack an HP machine.

Virtually ALL of HP's OEM equipment is branded in firmware as proprietary.

Device drivers see that and won't install.

I'll see what I can dig up.
