Hello Charudata,
If you are using Windows XP SP3, Im not sure of the patch will work, And if you are using Windows XP SP2, please follow the steps described as here. Please read the steps over and over , may be you have gone wrong in the phase where the UAA address is copied, normally people copies the whole line, rather that the specified part of it.
Thank you,
Prasad.S.R

dear SaysPrasad,
your effort to help out desperate people is really great and it helped me out also and as following your instructions I could successfully installed drivers for blue tooth, LAN but still I am wandering for Audio as most of the forum user faced the same problem that is to disable and enable the UAA in device manager. also I could not get access to 39671 driver more important the VGA Driver you provided is not at all working need some good advice.
June 13, 2009 at 2:10 pm
hay prasad,
in cq model is dell audio drivers match?,
and i need how to install xp without floppy.i neeed that method
June 14, 2009 at 8:45 pm
dear SaysPrasad,
AS per your instruction given for the Audio I followed the same and now the sound is activated but without windows microsoft well come tone as the .bat file loads and the sound drivers activates little later any way it solved my problem but for the CQ40-317TU I found the built in MIC is too weak to send voices over internet voip and chats is there any programme to increase the SENSITIVITY?
Secondly still I am trying desperately for the VGA Driver for XP I have tried almost all the SPs for e.g. sp 39715,sp29947,sp33761 and intel 1483 but all unable to load as the dialogue box appears saying system doesnot meets the requirements or driver is not validated and contact to manufacturer.
Please help me regarding the appropriate VGA Driver
thanks
