HI,

Welcome to TSF!

First make a back up your Vista OS. This way you could reinstall Vista if we run into issues.

Here are your drivers. Please follow the order given. DO NOT skip around when installing these drivers. If you run into an issue STOP and post it to the thread

Chipset Driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_...p2k_14.10.html
ONLY install the drivers. DO NOT install Media Shield
REBOOT

Video Driver:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRA...Go-15655.shtml
Install and REBOOT

Or

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_178.24_whql.html
(Newer version, but has not been tested)

If it does not install using the exe file then do a manual install through the device manager as follows:
Extract Files to a folder. Run the installer. If it errors upon installation use the device Manager.
From Device Manager, right click "VIDEO CONTROLLER (VGA COMPATIBLE)".
Choose Update driver.
Check no to connect.
Install from a list or specific location.
Don't search I will choose the driver to install.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the Extracted folder you made
See if windows will pick up the driver.

You should beable to get ON-LINE via your LAN connection. So do a full MS Update. You will need XP SP2. DO NOT install SP3 until ALL your drivers are installed and running correctly.

You will also need:

NET Framework 2.0:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Install and REBOOT

Windows Installer 3.1: Should have been done when you did MS Update, but here it is just incase.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Install and REBOOT

Wireless Lan:

Atheros:
http://www.atheros.cz/download.php?a...006EG&system=1
Install Driver Only and REBOOT

or

Broadcom:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN

or

Install and REBOOT

UAA Driver: Must be installed before your Audio driver.
http://www.mediafire.com/?4ben9zlesng
Install and REBOOT

Audio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?lgiwcooxdkk

Extract Files to a folder. Run the installer. If it errors upon installation use device Manager.
From Device Manager, right click "Audio Device on HD".
Choose Update driver.
Check no to connect.
Install from a list or specific location.
Don't search I will choose the driver to install.
In the list of common hardware types, scroll down and select Sound, Video, and Game controllers.
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
REBOOT.

MODEM:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...3180330&dlc=en
or
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...3180330&dlc=en
Extract Files to a folder. Manually install the modem driver through the device manager (Similar to the AUDIO Driver).
Install and REBOOT

Card Reader:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN
or
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN
Download and run SETUP EXE., then REBOOT.

Remaining drivers can be found here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...roduct=3740559

You should be up and running at this time.
If you need additional drivers please POST what errors you have in the DEVICE MANAGER.

The 1394 Controller: This is Only if you have an error in the Device Manager that shows OHCI COMPLIANT IEEE 1394 HOST CONTROLLER.
This is not a driver issue it is a XP/BIOS incompatibility issue.
Most people have resolved this issue by DOWNGRADING the Bios to F.28:

If you choose this option you do at your own RISK

Hope this helps,
Bill
