    Hello,

    I just followed the guide on installing xp on my t500 and have almost everything working except for my graphics drivers. I downloaded the ati switchable graphics drivers but whenever i run the setup it just keeps asking to install .net framework 2.0 and even if i do so it asks again. I also tried installing the drivers manually but they are unrecognized anywhere in that folder. am i doing something wrong? the graphics card i have is the mobile intel 4 series express chipset family. any help is greatly appreciated.

    Did you install the intel chipset drivers first?

    I installed the following chipset support file found on the lenovo site under my laptop model

    "Intel Chipset Support for Windows 2000, XP and Vista - ThinkPad R400, R500, T400, T500, W500, W700, X200, X200s, X200 Tablet, X301 "

    is that correct?
