You might need a more precise model number than that, to ensure you're getting
the right driver. There are six models of Satellite A200 listed here.

This is a graphics driver for one of those models.

Whoever installed WinXP on the laptop, should have kept all the drivers
used, somewhere safe for emergencies. I suspect the laptop may have
shipped with Vista on it, and WinXP might not have the same level of
support. So whoever did the initial install, may have had to look around
a bit, to find a driver to use.
Toshiba has multiple driver download sites, to further complicate matters.
There are also drivers sometimes hosted on the laptop review sites, that
have been hacked to make them more universally usable. So that is
another source you could look into.
