This one of those machines with some XP drivers and some OLD Vista drivers and some new Vista drivers.
The chipset is an older Intel 945GM which should easily support XP (IF) HP didn't change in name only some of the device drivers.
For right now, here is the main Intel Chipset Driver.

Here is the Intel Media Accelerator driver

Since some of the documentation mentions both XP and Vista, it appears HP has XP Drivers for this machine somewhere.
My best advice is to call HP Monday and be firm.

Post back as to the conversation.
(jd2066) found HP drivers for another XP machine last week so it is possible that one of our other members may respond with a better answer and link before Monday.
Watch your topic.

Kindest Regards,

I got a solution by letting WinXP check all my drivers.... I got my Audio, modem, wireless,LAN drivers from the internet by windoiws....... but i cant find my bluetooth driver..... so now my problem is reduced...... If posssible plz direct me where to find bluetooth drivers for my xp. The names of the drivers not yet installed are (as per windows device manager)
1)HP integrated module
2)SM bus controller

geekIT. Why did you highjack this thread with a topic that has nothing to do with the thread? I suggest you start your own thread and remove this posting from here.

Latest Update!!!! I downloaded my bluetooth driver by searching "Integrated Bluetooth v2.0 HP" in google. Worls fine. But still Windows is saying sum "Base System Device" and "SM Bus Controller" drivers are not present. I suspect these are referred to my Ricoh Media Card Reader.

pjeet89,
NO, you need the driver.
The System Management Bus controller is (should be) a part of the chipset.
Load in the Main Complete Chipset Driver Again.

pjeet89,

Download and run this Combined Chipset Intel File.
It is suppose to support 945 Chipsets among others.
(3. INF Update Utility - Primarily for IntelĀ® 4, 3, 900 Series Chipsets (2455KB) 9.0.0.1008 6/2/2008)
Read EVERYTHING first and click on 945 Express Chipset.

pjeet89,

Let me be sure I understand.

SMB Bus is now Fixed.

Only One Unknown Device remaining ????

Let me research and think.

Told one Poster to call HP and (DEMAND) the XP drivers (in no uncertain terms) for his model machine.
HP gave him the secret drivers and what he wanted.
IF you want to try the say tactic, be ready to get ugly with those folks, but it works !!!!

Will get back with you.
