Alright, I figured out what went wrong. I didn't update to SP3. Thanks for the help.
Hi. I'm missing the following drivers from my 1525. At a certain point before setup was completed I had the active partition imaged. Recently I restored to this point, and I really can't remember at all what order the drivers go in. Here's two screenshots of the missing drivers. I tried to solve the 965 Chipset driver on my own but it never really worked and it doesn't show any changes. IIRC I found a setup utility that installed all of those drivers for me but I can't remember the website I got it from. Here are some screenshots of the missing drivers. [IMAGE] [IMAGE]   Help? Sorry, I've tried figuring this out on my own but when I tried installing some drivers I ended up having to restore back to this point. As the subject says it's running on XP (I like using the 98 interface, much cleaner), 32 bit, not like I've modded it for 64 bit or anything. Just an old stock laptop with a partitioned HDD.
