HELP! Can't find drivers

[daniel101191]

Hi guys,

Problem: I have a Packard Bell easynote bg45-u-300.

The drivers just don't exist I have spend the last 40 minutes trying to find them. I need VGA and wireless/ethernet others don't really matter.

I am about to ring packard bell but thought I would post on here first because it costs 10p a minute.

and before you ask the laptop doesn't exist on their website.

Thanks in advanced

Post the hardware IDs for the vga and wifi as well as which os you need the drivers for.

noob question, how do I get the hardware ID?

Download speccy and install, it will give a break down of what is running on the laptop.

It should be running Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100.

OS is Vista at a guess from some of the Google results.

Intel GM965 chipset.

See here post back the IDs and confirm it is for vista and if you require 32 bit or 64 bit.

Windows update usually finds most things I've found.

i thought that the windows now is quite smart and most of the drivers will be supported o_O

The older models are on the ftp site, they list an atheros wlan which i think is the one you're missing.

AR5006X seems to be the one you need.
