Downgrading vista to XP

Feb 16, 2008 6:36AM PST

I installed XP over vista and now I seem to need the motherboard drivers for my pavilion a6200n. Any idea where I can get one (or them?)

What problem are you encountering...

Since HP doesn't support XP on that model you'd need to go to the component manufacturer's website and see if they have a compatible driver. Everest can give you the information you need in that regard, but before proceeding be sure you actually need said driver(s). (ie what problem are you having?)

Downgrading vista to xp

one of the problems was I could not connect to the internet, the others where just because the motherboard drivers where not installed. My boyfriend (mr. ubber himself!) knew exactly what to do when he got home from work and had the computer working great in a matter of 20 min. I am just impatient and wanted to do it myself. Next time I guess I will let the people that know what they are doing handle it. Thanks though.
