I used to use Driver Genius and it worked well, but the OS got screwed up and I was forced to reinstall everything, and now Driver Genius isn't working anymore. It just fails downloading the drivers when connecting to the database. I understand this is a problem alot Driver Genius users seem to have, I don't know why it hasn't been fixed. I did try DriverMax and that was a complete disaster. It downloaded duplicate drivers, and not even the right ones. I'll never use that again.
I am now desperate because I can't use my PC correctly.
I know, the most ideal solution would be finding the drivers on the manufacturers' websites, I have already tried that, but only a handful of the drivers could be found, the rest can't be found except on 3rd party websites and I don't trust those.

I'm posting a list of the hardware list (as provided by the company that put the PC together), can someone point me to the correct place on the manufacturer's websites download the latest drivers for XP (32-bit)? Please official websites, no 3rd party sites if possible.
PS: I don't know what all this hardware is, this is just what I was provided with.

PROCESSOR: 2nd Generation Intel® Atom Dual Core D525 1.80GHz (Formerly Pineview-D)
*checked Intel's site, couldn't find the drivers.*

CHIPSET: Intel NM10 Express Chipset (Formerly Tiger Point) @ 2.1W
*checked Intel's site, couldn't find the drivers.*

GRAPHICS: Next-Generation NVIDIA ION Graphics Processor (ION2) (DDR3 512MB) GPU?
*checked NVIDIA's site, couldn't find any drivers at all for this, for any OS*

AUDIO: Realtek ALC662 HD Audio
Nvidia L-PCM digital audio (HDMI 1.3) can support 7.1 output with external decoder
*I don't understand this. Do I have two soundcards? there are only ports for one card on the back. also, Realtek's website sucks for me. No matter what you put in the search box I get 0 results.*

STORAGE:
Intel NM10: 2 x SATA2 3Gb/s Connectors
JMicron® JMB362 SATA controller: 2 x SATA2 3.0Gb/s port with RAID 0, 1, JBOD.

Super IO: FINTEK F71809U

Many thanks in advance for any help.

NV10 Drivers

ION Drivers

There shouldn't be any drivers for the CPU. That shouldn't be needed.

Also whats the motherboard? If you don't know download CPUID and go into the motherboard section and post the motherboard. You should find all the drivers there.

As far as the sound card issue the first one is the onboard audio. The second is the audio for the HDMI conenctor that is on your PC which those drivers will be in the ION Drivers.

Audio you should find on the motherboard site

Also I NEVER use any kind of Driver Program. I have only had issues with them. The same with downloading drivers though Windows XP update. I never do them. Vista and Up are fine.

anonymous1: I didn't know they were listed incorrectly. Please tell me in what way. It is a desktop, it's a C64x (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64x), model 'Ultimate'. Commodore USA LLC has since gone out of business, so I can't ask them anything about the computer.

drtweak: Thank you for those drivers! The product sheet does mention "Motherboard (mini-ITX & Power Supply)", but no further info. I downloaded CPUID. This is what it tells me under Motherboard:
Manufacturer: To be filled by O.E.M.
Model: To be filled by O.E.M.
Chipset: Intel / Atom Host Bridge / Rev. 02
Southbridge: Intel / NM10 / Rev. 02
LPCIO (greyed out)

I tried to find the drivers for ALC662 HD Audio on Realtek's website, but I'm unable to, I just find the product description. Do you have any luck locating them on their site? It seems in order to ever find any drivers at all on there, you need to find the results within Google or other search engines, the on-site search is absolutely horrible (at least for me it is, maybe I'm doing something wrong).

The computer also has a wireless network adapter which I have no idea what it is called. According to internet sources about this pc model, all information I have found in regards to that is "WiFi(802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth".

PS: Does CPUID locate its information from the current drivers installed, or how does it work? Because I happened to look in the Graphics section, and it lists the ION model as GT218 (that model was not listed within the drivers you directed me to). If this info is gathered from current drivers on the computer, it's probably wrong because like I said DriverMax downloaded the wrong drivers. If that is not how CPUID works, perhaps I need the drivers for NVIDIA ION GT218?

The ION Graphcis all use the same drivers so you don't need to look up the GT218. Just tell it its ION from the drop down menu and what ever version of windows you are running. Now don't download the Beta Drivers. There should some drivers that have the Lable WHQL on them. Get those ones.

And CPUID get its info from the motherboard directly, but in some cases you get what you have. They leave it open so people can brand them. So like Dell, HP, ect can list their own model number for it. If it was like a gigabyte or asus you bought it would list it here. If it was like a Dell it would says something like "Dell Motherboard Model # DB245836" Ect.

Now i'm assuming this is what you have?

Is so thats pretty sweet! haha I remember playing with my neighbors Commodore haha.

Now for the audio drivers try this.

http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS002024

They are for Lenovo but they are the same audio device so that might work. If it doesn't let you install it (Sometimes it wont) Have just have to extract the files and then add the driver maually though the Device manager.

As for the wireless care do this.

Open up Device manager. In there you should see a "Network Adapter" with a yellow !. Double click on that (Or what ever one is the wireless) and then click on the Detail Tab

From the Drop down menu pick the Hardare Ids (Should be the second one dow) And list everything that is in here. We can track down what Wireless card it is with these Ids

Yup, that's it. I used to have so many of those (the real thing, that is) back when they were current, so the release of this PC was a very pleasent surprise for me.
OK, as for the "Wireless Controller", as device manager refers to it as, the Hardware IDs are:
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_20471A3B&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_20471A3B
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&CC_0280

Thanks man I will try it and let you know. But how do I know it's the latest version? Are they also available on Broadcom's website so I can make sure they're the latest version?

The thing is to get the exact latest driver you need to open up the laptop and look at the model number of the wireless card. These are generic drivers for that chip which is a broadcom. Dell, HP, Ect use broadcom chips in their wireless card.

That driver you posted works. Thanks!
So what do I do about the motherboard driver? Is there anyway of finding out what model I have? The info I had on the technical specs I guess is too vague to know?
