    Im using a sony Vaio VGN-n250E

    Came with vista, vista sucks and doesn't run on our business network. So I put XP on there. But, Sony doesn't offer XP drivers for the machine at all, so I need some help.

    The wierd thing is, i've done this once before, and got the lan, wireless, and audio working, thats all I need. But I had to reformat and I can't find anything that works for the life of me.

    I know they use the same parts in different laptops, i've tried other laptop models but I just get the error "This installation wasn't meant for your model" blah blah blah.

    Last time I remember going to a driver page where I could find drivers based off my intel model chipset number, it wasn't intels site though (their drivers don't work either) Anyway, the Chipset is "Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Chipsets or Intel(R) 945GT Express Chipset."

    Any help? I need Lan, Wireless and Audio.

    Whoever can help me, I declare King of the Intertubes.
