How did you do this re-install the XP? With a Dell Recovery
"system" (CD or partition) or a true XP install CD?

Head over to Dell's support web site and locate / download the drivers
for your model.

An alternative source for the SMBus driver for the Dell Dimension 2400 is
Intel's Chipset software.

It is available here
