Hello,

I have a friend of mine that purchased a compaq presario with vista preinstalled. He wanted XP Pro put on so I formatted the vista partition and reinstalled xp pro. Everything worked fine but now I can't find drivers for it on the site. They are all for Vista. Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Nick

A program like this will list your hardware, then you will have to chase XP drivers from the relevant manufacturers.
