    ^ I would try that.

    Ultimately though you should have checked that before you attempted a downgrade. Still correctable if you wish to return to Vista or perform an Upgrade to 7.

    Google the hardware IDs found in the the properties in device manager.

    Thanks all,
    yes I know now that I should have checked and saved the drivers first.:o

    I actually just installed windows 7 over the xp and what a relief, everything works automatically now.

    I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to thank Rambo for the devid.info link.

    I was almost ready to pull my hair out trying to find a wireless network adapter I formatted my hardrive and installed windows xp.

    I was going on 3 hours trying to get all the drivers. That link did the job in about 5 minutes.

    Thanks very much.
