    You will need these drivers:
    In the application tab, you will want to download Quickset,
    in the audio tab, you will want the sigmatel audio driver
    In the chipset tab, you will want to download both of them, the intel one is for the chipset, and the ricoh one is for the media card reader
    In the communications tab, you will want to download the ones which match your wireless cards.
    In the input device tab, download and install all three of them
    In teh network tab, download the first two, and then the one which matches your wireless card
    In the video card tab, download the one which matches your graphics card.

    I hope this helps,

    K-TRON
