TM 2200 - Installed generic XP - nothing works :(

Hey guys,

I installed a generic copy of XP on my travel mate 2200. It works ok but some of my keyboard buttons dont work, my sound card dont work, WLAN not working! how do i get all this working????

 

You need to install the drivers for the sound and the WLAN, get them from the following link:
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_2200.html

About the keyboard...check the language bar settings. Which buttons doesn't work?

 

Yeah, been there dude, i get unpack errors in win rar and the driver update function on the device manager does not see the files.

The device manager lists the other devices as:

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia audio controller
PCI Modem
SM Bs Controller
Video Controller

I cant seem to install the drivers and dont know which correspond.

I didnt know i was such a n00b. lol

 

Ok go to this site:

Get the PDF for TM2200 and download the drivers from the links, hopefully these will work for you.

Edit: I decide to make it easier for you so I'm posting the direct links:
