Thanks for such a quick response guys....I did check the HP website and they only provide XP drivers for certain hardware items...The Touchpad, and DVD drive....I need to find drivers for A Card Reader, Built-In Webcam, Wi-Fi and Ethernet Controllers etc etc etc....

Is there any way of finding out exactly what is in this laptop? I mean I obviously can check the device manager list but it doesn't give me great detail....For Example....

I know from my previous attempt at downgrading that the GPU in the laptop is a Geforce 8200M G....I found the drivers for it once, and once they were installed it then brought up driver issues with a GPU Co-proccessor for which I could find no support what-so-ever.
