My device manager is showing an error with the SM Bus Controller. I'm on Win XP SP3. I've tried to restore to earlier today, but for all I know it's been like that for ages. Everything seems to be running ok. Is there anything I can do?

To tidy it up probably needs a driver from the motherboard manufacturer that you should find on their support web site.
Is it a branded system, if so what?

I went to the eMachines site and downloaded the Intel chipset update, but no good - actually it came up with a message saying that it couldn't access the files, and then copied some files anyway. But it doesn't seem to have made a difference.
I sort of feel that, since the computer seems to be running ok without it, maybe i should just leave well enough alone, but then, if it's not needed, why have it?

But you're right, the computer seems to be operating fine without it.

Double-click on it in Device Manager to view the Properties and then look at the Details tab. In the drop-down box that appears at the top, select Hardware Ids. Right-click on the top one and choose copy and then paste it here. It will look like:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DA&SUBSYS_81791043&REV_01

You need the ATI South Bridge driver (11-5_xp32-64_sb.exe) from this page:

Don't bother with any of the RAID drivers from that page.
