I have found, and if your reading this I'm sure you have to, Hp/Compaq do not offer support for Windows XP anymore. All new laptops come with Vista pre-loaded and they will not help you find drivers to do what they call "downgrade" from vista to xp. This is, what I think, a bunch of B.S. as I know there are XP drivers out the for these products. I made a huge mistake in not researching this before hand, with the holiday price of $399 and all I just jumped on it and bought an HP DV6605us. I should of bought a Dell instead. Anyway, after searching for 2 weeks and reinstalling Black XP 5, 8 times, which by the way, is the only way I could get video due to the fact XP Pro SP2 doesn't have nVidia GeForce drivers and Black XP has RyanVM's Driver Packs in it. I finally found a solution. I found, through trial and error, all of the XP drivers for these Vista only machines are on HP's and Compaq's support site. They are all there and I know HP knows it. They are found on different models that came with XP pre-loaded but had the same or similar hardware. I know it seems like a real pain in the a**, well, it is but, you can find them. In my opinion Vista isn't ready to for public use and is still at best a beta version, like WinMe which also fell flat on it's face. I have links here for the drivers I am using. These where posted by DavidPro on another site. He was on the ball way before I was. I just confirmed his findings and made sure his drivers where the same as mine after I had already got my laptop working. Plus he doesn't speak or type english very good, not that I do either. If these drivers don't work for you and you have an intel based HP or compaq you will find the correct ones by searching on HP/Compaq's support site. You just have to find a laptop with the correct chipset that had XP pre-loaded or was a CTO model. I promise it isn't easy and I even debated recovering my laptop back to vista at some points but, I, to M$ and HP's dismay, have prevailed and done what HP said couldn't be done and what M$ didn't want to be done and "Downgraded" my laptop back to the best 32-bit O/S M$ has made, XP. The Instructions are in spanish. If you need another language use google translate or babelfish. I hope some of you find this helpful.
