Hi, everyone. Thank you in advance for your help and attention to this matter.
I currently own a Sony Vaio VGN-N365E running Windows XP (it shipping with Windows Vista) and have noticed in the Device Manager that I have an alert about the 'SM Bus Controller' (I have posted a screenshot here). When right-clicking on the SM Bus Controller and clicking 'Properties,' I receive the following dialogue: 'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 2.'
So, I downloaded CPU-Z to find out exactly what type of motherboard I have and here is the screenshot of it. I have an 'i945GM.'
So, I went to Intel's website and used their 'Intel Driver Update Utility' to sort out my drivers and see what needs to be updated/installed. Here is a screenshot from the Update Utility, which basically says that both of my Intel drivers are perfectly fine.
In any case, I went ahead and re-installed the driver for the chipset. The file was called 'winxp_14324.exe,' if that helps.
So, does anyone have a suggestion of what I might do to resolve this issue? If additional information is needed, I will supply it. Thank you so much.
- Home ยป SM Bus Controller Use the links on this page to download the latest version of SM Bus Controller drivers. All drivers available for download have been scanned by antivirus program.
- The hardware is recognized as the SM Bus Controller. I tried to locate the driver on the Dell driver CD. I tried to find it on the Intel site also. I've tried to install the Intel 800 Chipset driver but during installation I just get the message that my chipset is already supported by my OS.

What Is An Sm Bus Driver
If SMBus is shown in Device Manager with an error, this is an indication that your motherboard chipset drivers have not been installed or were not found during the Windows installation. See the motherboard drivers page for a listing of links to motherboard drivers and chipset drivers.
