Cannot reinstall Intel 945 Express chipsets on Inspiron e1405, 'code 39'

Question

Hello, I recently had to reinstall Windows XP Media Edition on my Inspiron E1405.  When reloading the chipsets, I encountered a 'code 39' wherein 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.'  The chipsets are Mobile Intel 945 Express. I have attempted to uninstall the chipsets and let Windows reinstall the drivers, and have downloaded the chipset files from the intel website, both of which result in the same error code.  The drivers on the Dell reinstallation CD are 'corrupt' and 'cannot be installed.'  I have run out of ideas and hope that there is a solution out there. Thanks.
