How to obtain old drivers (WinXP) for Compaq Presario 5400 series

[Charly-64]

In order to use an old software version along with a specific piece of hardware, I need to setup a PC with WinXP. I have an old Compaq Presario SR5417de. I installed WinXP, but now I need the device drivers especially the high definition audio bus driver, PCI driver and SM bus controller driver. Any idea where I can find these drivers for XP running on that Presario Desktop PC ?

Hi:

Below is the link to the XP chipset driver for your model PC.

Install and restart the PC.

Audio:  If you are running XP SP2, then you need to first install this driver and restart the PC.

Then install the Realtek audio driver from the link below.

If you are running XP SP3, then you can go right to installing the Windows 2000/XP audio driver from the link below.

Accept the agreement.  Download and install the XP driver listed, and restart the PC.
