I have a HP Media Center PC m7160n computer. I've had people on the forums give me the links to download the CPU update. I've also gone to the Intel Update Utility, but it tells me that It doesn't have the drivers. After I download and run the updates from the links those people give me, it says

"The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computers manufacturer."

I've gone to HP's website and couldn't find the driver.

Computer specs:

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition

OS Service Pack Service Pack 2

DirectX 4.09.00.0904 (DirectX 9.0c)

Motherboard Chipset Intel Lakeport-G i945G

Video Adapter Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family (224 MB)

System Memory 1014 MB (DDR2-400 DDR2 SDRAM)
 
Agree with the above I am not sure what "CPU driver" you are even trying to install. When Windows XP was being supported by Microsoft CPU drivers would have came though Windows Update so the latest one should have already been installed. And it is not the CPU that is not allowing the update it is the OS that is stopping it from being installed.

Is there a specific problem that you think this driver will solve?
