After I downgraded two Vista PCâs to XP Pro, I found a plain-jane VGA screen (800x600/16 colors) and no sound. These PCâs use Intel 845G chipsets. I downloaded a driver(s) from Intelâs Website. Alas, this didnât include a sound driver for this chipset. I installed a spare sound card in one of the PCâs and all was fine. Before I buy a new sound card, is there any way to download the correct driver from somewhere? I tried Microsoft twice with no results.
