And where can I get Windows XP drivers for my MacBook Pro? I went to Apple support link here - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl830 but it's actually an update, not the actual drivers. It didn't work for me. Is there a pack of WinXP drivers for the MBP for download? Do you have them? Can you upload it for me pls.:oops:

Well it looks like driver pack for Windows XP / Server 2003 is not available on the web, or at least "no longer" available.:thumbsup:

:rolleyes:

If you go in the Server 2003 device manager, all drivers are missing (except for USB).

All I really need are 3 things: 1). Video driver 2). Audio driver 3). Ethernet driver. Well, to be honest, I don't even really need the ethernet driver. Video and audio, most important. ;)


So I went to Intel website and gone to Intel HD Graphics driver for WinXP and downloaded. Hope I downloaded the right one as this appears to be the closest one since it has Intel HD Graphics 3000.

For the chipset? What do I have??? I believe it's a 2011 model MBP 13.3" since I just got it a week ago. It's got i5 core. Does this thing have Intel 6 Series chipset? Anyways, I went & downloaded that too.


I will try them out shortly. :D

I am pretty sure Intel has a generic "detect my chipset" button on the support site. The intel "drivers" are pretty generic as they plug most of the drivers in to one package and the installer only installs the ones it finds. They ask but in most cases they point at the same installer package. I think the "P55" one is generic across all the "iX series" processor chipsets.
