onto my old decrepit computer because Me Finally gave out.

so yeah hope ive given enough info there

 

Intel says i752 belongs to 82810 graphics controller. Try the driver:

And your sound driver is here http://www.download.com/C-Media-CMI...120_4-10495782.html?tag=lst-3&cdlPid=10495783
But you should install the chipset drivers before installing anything; before the video, before the sound, do it first and reboot when done. You can download the chipset drivers from here http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Det...&OSFullName=Windows* XP Home Edition&lang=eng

I don't see how anyone can be "forced" to install anything unless someone was holding your family hostage at gunpoint: "Install tinyXP or else!!" LOL
Installing web releases of operating systems isn't a really good, especially one of the modified versions. Who knows what's been removed from the operating system in order to make it "tiny"....

 

haha hmm well forced as in "i want my computer to work" forced...
i tried dling the chipset... i get to 60% installed and it says that my pci.sys file is needed and then asks me to tell it where that is but the file that it offers obviously doesnt have it....
any advice there?

 

Yup, install a vanilla XP. Not a dumb-down.

 

would that work on my low spec computer though (that being the reason i got tiny..)
