All the drivers are on Packard Hell's web site
HERE.
I'd download them all and unzip them to a Cd or USB stick.
After installing XP do the chipset drivers first, then the Unichrome IGP (graphics) drivers, then the rest in any order. I'd reboot after the chipset and also the IGP drivers. The rest, I'd install the lot and then reboot.
Good luck.

Thank you Tony, that looks straightforward.
There’s nothing to lose as the laptop only just qualifies to be called a computer as it is.

Ray- hope you've gotten it all sorted! I've been out of town nearly 2 weeks on vacation in New England (now just need to get to OLD England!

Not quite Randy, but with Tony's help I've moved forward on the driver front. I just need to know about the ISO files you mentioned... you have mail.
Thanks Ray
