OMG, do you think that they tried that already, and that's why they are asking for help in these forums?

@edcahill: try this page HERE. Be sure to download and install the chipset driver first, then the CPU driver. After that install in any order you want (although I recommend not installing the bios from their page). Of note: you will want to have Microsoft .Net 3.5 (minimum 2.0) installed prior to installing the ATI display driver as Catalyst Control Center runs on it.

Be careful of what Download link you pick on the subsequent pages as there are tons. In order: pick the link that has a green down arrow beside the word "Download", then the one that is a Download button, then the one that has a green arrow beside the word "Download Mirror". I know, I know, it's stupid, but that's how they have their site set up (set up in a way to get you to click something you don't want that makes them money via a link, or via their Driver Download software).

No goggle hasn't banned me. But I have not been able to find much information on or XP drivers for the Ati Mobility Radeon Hd2400 video card or the AMD M690 chipset. AMD doesn't seem to see the need to put drivers for chips that they made a year or two ago. I guess they want me to buy the new stuff.(If I do it will not be theirs). Toshiba has XP drivers on their UK and EU web sites for some of their laptops, but not mine. I only put this on the board after searching a lot first. Yet despite this I am making progress. It seems I am going to have to try alot of different drivers to see what works. So when I get it right I will post the drivers.

I also saw that source that wanted money I don't really trust it but I might try it any way and see what I get. I also had e-mailed that person but got no response. The e-mail did not bounce back so I know it is still a good e-mail address so I am e-mailing him again. (Don't worry I am not insulted.) I am learning a lot doing this. Thank you for all your help.
