Wierd, I went to the PB website and it says the product number is invalid. Are you 100% sure that is the number of on the back of the case?

Give this driver a go:

If it is the GF7050VT-M5(V1.0). Then download the drivers here:

It looks like the manufacturer of that motherboard is not packard bell, its BY a company called ECS, belive the motherboard model is ECS -GF7050VT-M, could be wrong though.

The ECS -GF7050VT-M looks very close except the board im working on has six audio
sockets do you think the drivers may still work.

No joy installing xp on this mobo I'm afraid, they will have to share vista & watch what they download.
Thanks for the help.
