    Ok this has been discussed many times and i think i have a solution....
    in the SWsetup folder in C partition...in the audio drivers there is a xpsp1 and xpsp2 folder....i take this to be XP service pack folder!!!!!!
    C:\SwSetup\Drivers\Audio\HDAQFE\xpsp2\us
    go to this destination and try running the setupp in here in XP...i tried in Vista to see what it was but it gave an error....

    am gonna try this out as soon as i have some spare time (cuz i have to install XP first) i have my IGCSE exams coming up and a bit short on time..

    But if anyone who already has XP installed can in the meantime chech this out? :D

    Hi Umar

    I dont have the files on my harddisk
    Can you please Zip the folder and upload it to rapidshare?
    I will test it asap, when i receive the files.

    I have looked into that folder and found only the ServicePAck file kb888111xpsp2. Thats only the UAA driver.

    Umar,

    I think you need to zip and upload the folder "Drivers/Audio/WDM."

    What you uploaded to rapidshare is a microsoft update.
