    Hi there, please help me find the following drivers. I just refomatted my computer and I have been trying for countless hours but can not find a legitimate source for the following drivers.

    I have a SONY VAIO - VGN-CR120E with Windows XP professionl version 2002, SP3. Intel Core2 Duo CPU.

    I downloaded UNKNOWN DEVICE DRIVER and found that I need:

    1) Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. *this is the most important as I can not even connect to the Internet! I found a source and downloaded, but after I unzipped the file it said CRC faied and that the file was corrupt.

    Don't know if these are important... but also need

    2) Intel GM965/GL960/GS965 Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller 1 AND 2

    3) Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) SMBus controller

    4) Realtek Semiconductor RTL8101 PCIe Fast Ethernet Adapter

    and 5) Texas Instrumnts PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller

    Please help me find these drivers!! and let me know if some of them are unnecessary.



    I really really appreciate whoever can help me with this!

    Hey thanks alot that really helped!
    But unfortunately, my Intel gm965 graphics controller is having problems. It says that 'setup does not meet the requirements - set up will exit now' and it shuts down. Is there any way I can get the graphics on this computer better?
    The resolution is terrible!

    Please help :)

    You should be able to get the chipset drivers from the Intel website.

    still same problem! It's not a problem finding the driver - it's the COMPUTER DOES NOT MEET REQUIREMENTS - SETUP WILL EXIT that is the problem. I need to resolve that!

    Must something be done to my computer prior to installing the driver? OR can I DL a different driver? If so, please suggest one!

    Please help
