    Drivers for old Samsung X20 laptop

    I have an old Pentium M Samsung X20 laptop and have recently done a clean install of Windows XP SP3. I have no drivers and can't find a reputable source online. I have downloaded the Intel chipset drivers but I still have no ethernet adaptor, wireless, sound etc. I can't therefore get online to do a Windows Update.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

    Thanks for this. I tried this first but all the links are dead and no longer work. Really struggled to find drivers and ended up spending hours piecing drivers from various sites. I hate the "helpful" driver download websites that coy you into downloading their software first. Are there any useful sites for old drivers that the manufacturers no longer support?

    I saw this thread after posting mine (although that was about something completely different). I don't know the exact model you have but it looks like the audio driver can be downloaded from Realtek here, (click on the applicable link - AC'97 Audio Codecs (Software) and the wirelsss driver can be downloaded from Intel here. With regards to the ethernet driver, it's unclear whether that's a Broadcom chip or not. You'll need to check your manual to confirm this. If it is then this driver can be obtained from here. However, if you can get the wireless working then Windows Update may be able to find it for you automatically.

    Easiest way is to use Windows Update.

    Failing which, moving to Windows 7 should take care of the drivers.
