chipset driver won't instal

Good day

I have ACER M1610, WINXP SP2. I have just formatted and repartitioned the HD, partly for personal reasons and partly to deal with malware.

I can't get the chipset driver to work. I had this computer from a friend who needed to sell and I downloaded the drivers from Acer and put them on CD. There has never been a problem before. This time on running the driver, it hangs after the progress bar ends. Clearing with Task Manager, I get a message from SiSBase.dll that it cannot find InstFunc.exe. This file is on the disc, in the WINXP_2K folder.

I downloaded a fresh chipset driver from the ACER website and exactly the same thing happened.

The result is that I can instal the Realtek sound driver but not my M-Audio soundcard driver. The video driver seemed to go in but images are distorted laterally.

I would be most grateful for any advice or assistance to help me with this problem

 

The first thing I would do, before trying anything else, is to install Service Pack 3.

Next, download the latest driver(s) from http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=342

 

Thank you. The chipset has always loaded well without SP3. I have already downloaded the drivers from Acer, as my message says.

 

Try if the method indicated in the last post in this works: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f19/instfunc-exe-univga3-display-driver-259522.html
