None of them work.

Check the Windows Update site... AC'97 is a pretty common board and they might have drivers (actually, they do). If it doesn't work, you might have a problem with your audio board.

You might also want to try to get the drivers from the recovery CD that came with your notebook.

Oh, and make sure you have Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Just tried that, was installing and i got this error:

Oh, well if you are on Vista, it is possible that the drivers you are trying to install are not compatible...

Try getting the Vista drivers from the following page:
