    I am looking for a Driver.
    Device manager shows:
    SM Bus Controller
    PCI bus 0, device 20, function 0

    This is a HP Pavilion dv8000 Laptop, 17 widescreen, AMD Turion 64 1.8G, 1G RAM, 80G drive, ATI Radion 200m graphics, 4 usb, 1 firewire, multi card reader, 1 Expansion port, 1 eithernet port, 1 tv, 1 monitor out. It came with Media edition installed, but I went XP Pro from a OEM CD. HP does not have this on the Driver site and tech was no help. This is the second time for XP Pro. I hadd the driver but, could not find it again. Can't find it in my storage. Does anyone have an idea where to look?

    Go to: ATI's website - Drivers > Windows XP > Motherboards with ATI Graphics. And get the Southbridge driver set. This usually works.
