The nVidia refuses to load, even with the modified .INF . I had completely wiped out the Hardisk and repartitioned using PartitionMagic. The Dell BlueTooth drivers have been installed, and there is an icon on the taskbar. Clicking it gives the message - "No devices found". I have now loaded the Intel Graphics driver and Sigmatel Audio, and there seems to be functionality. I notice that your web site is moving. Please send your new contact url. Regard.

Finally got it installed by downloading the zipped version of winxp_14331 from the Intel download center, extracting the files, then manually updating the driver in the XP Device Manager. The driver is located in the "Graphics" folder in the extracted zip. See the readme file in the extracted zip for more detailed instructions. You might want to first try Jeff's solution to run winxp_14331.exe in Windows SAFEMODE if you already have winxp_14331.exe on hand. If that doesn't work give my solution a try. Hope this helps. dave from April24th,

I used SAFE MODE in XP to make this pesky chipset driver install. Must be a problem with order of driver install where intell chipset was not the firt thing installed after installing XP, SAFE mode fixed the probelm and allowed me to sucesssfully install the driver for 965 Intel chipset.
