SM Bus Controller driver. Discussion in 'Software' started. I was told by a tech at HP to use 9-8Legacy-XP32-64-dd-ccc drivers which I downloaded to take care of a no driver issue for the SM Bus Controller. I can not get the driver to take. Dont know what to suggest now as the Chipset driver contains the SMBus driver and the one from.
Hi, everyone. Thank you in advance for your help and attention to this matter.
I currently own a Sony Vaio VGN-N365E running Windows XP (it shipping with Windows Vista) and have noticed in the Device Manager that I have an alert about the 'SM Bus Controller' (I have posted a screenshot here). When right-clicking on the SM Bus Controller and clicking 'Properties,' I receive the following dialogue: 'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 2.'
So, I downloaded CPU-Z to find out exactly what type of motherboard I have and here is the screenshot of it. I have an 'i945GM.'
So, I went to Intel's website and used their 'Intel Driver Update Utility' to sort out my drivers and see what needs to be updated/installed. Here is a screenshot from the Update Utility, which basically says that both of my Intel drivers are perfectly fine.
In any case, I went ahead and re-installed the driver for the chipset. The file was called 'winxp_14324.exe,' if that helps.
So, does anyone have a suggestion of what I might do to resolve this issue? If additional information is needed, I will supply it. Thank you so much.

Free Download Driver Windows Xp
I have a Gateway DX4710 Desktop Series. Here's my system information:
System: 3.3 Windows Experience
Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Quad CPU Q 6600 @ 2.40 GHZ
Memory (Ram): 6.00 GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I recently did a system System Diagnostic test on my PC and the test revealed that I needed a SM Bus Controller Device. I went to the Gateway Drivers and Downloads section, did a search to find a SM Bus Controller device, and the search revealed four options:
1. PV9.0.0.1008.zip - Intel Chipset Driver
2. 390598_MA1_1_OEMGen_165622.zip - Intel Network Driver
3. WHQL_5688_PG262_Vist_XP_Getway_Dolby.zip-Realtek Audio
4. PV15.82.1461.zip-Intel Video Driver
Here'a my question:
I previously asked the question on this forum: What is a SM Bus Controller Device and I was advised to go to Gateway's Drivers and Downloads Section and do a search. As you can see, it came back with 4 options. I am new to this and I don't know which driver to select. Can you advise? Do I have to uninstall the previous driver (that is not working) before I can install one of the above drivers or will downloading the above drivers download and update and clear up any problems I'm having with the driver.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
