pesky driver giving me the run around

Hi eveyone
I have installed xp on a notebook that seems to have only come with vista.
I have one device left that I cannot find the driver for.
I have checked the manuf. site/s but only vista supported
I have tried many with no luck
I have tried utils like drivermax
ive been at it for 10hrs or more
im now going round and round so am reaching out for help.

toshiba m100, psmaaa-01m006
high definition audio controller HDAUDIO\FUNC_02&VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_11790001&REV_1002\4&C3E5A58&0&0101

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but when Vista was created some computers are not supported at all for XP.

Some models were supported for XP some weren't.

Follow this link and give it a shot. It may help you find the driver you need or at least an older driver that is compatible.

 

Try this website. I googled your model number and this is what I found for drivers.

Hello,
I am not sure why but the Vendor ID and Dev ID on PCI database say this.

Chip Number: Prespa
Chip Description: VEN_11C1&DEV_1040&SUBSYS_11790001

This was initially an Agere chip. Agere is now merged with LSI. It was a modem and sound chip.

If SnowFalcons suggestion does not work try the driver I uploaded. It is for a Toshiba modem. The inf file references the above vendor and device ID's. Do not use the setup. Go to your Device manager and right click the device. Click the Driver tab and then select update driver. Point it to the inf file in the folder with the extracted files.I scanned it and there were no viruses but you should upload it to Virustotal for a double check.

 

How did you come up with a modem driver from an audio sound chip? Just curious on that

 

I went to the PCI Database. I then did a Vendor and Device ID search and came up with the Toshiba Modem driver. I then did a search for a number of Agere Modem drivers and finally found one with the Vendor ID, Device ID, and SUBSYS number. I opened up the driver I uploaded and in the inf file, all the numbers referenced by the OP were there. Not sure if will work though.
