Looking for XP video driver for A205-S5800

With the help of several web posts, I have been able to downgrade my Toshiba A205-S5800 to Windows XP. The only thing missing is a better video driver. According to Intel, the integrated graphics are: Intel(R) 965GM Graphics and Memory Controller Hub(GMCH).

I downloaded the driver from the Intel website, but it would not install, recommending that I get a driver from the manufacturer.

Does anyone have a drive that will work?

I checked with VersionTracker Pro from CNET. They say the have a newer driver, but it will cost me $30 to join. Has anyone tried their service? Is it worth the money?

A question to BoRek:
Where can I get the SATA driver for the A205-S6812?
Thanks

I am trying to down grade this same laptop to XP.I can't find the USB drivers etc.can some please provide a link or links to the drivers I need.

 

Well my big problem was the version of XP.I am doing it for someone else and the version was not SP2.after updating it to SP2 that solved the USB problem.I still have 3 things that are not installed.I hope the rest will go easy from here.

 

Can you please tell me how were you able to downgrade.. I have A205 -S6812 and it does not have an option in BIOS to disable the hard drive.. While installing it does not recognize the hard drive ...
I really want to get rid of this Vista as its runing the actual capacity of the system.. Please help
