Hi,
Welcome to TSF.
From your above POST (If I understand correctly) you need XP drivers for your compaq SR2013WM.
Here is a link for your drivers:

Scroll down to Original Drivers and download to a CD (On your vista machine) all the drivers under Original Drivers. Note the File name so you know what driver is what. These are EXE. files so once you have them on CD, insert the CD into your XP machine and click on the appropriate file and install them in this order;

Install the CHIPSET driver first. It is 4th on the list under Original Drivers
Then install the LAN driver, 1st on the list under Original Drivers
Video driver is the 5th on the list under Original Drivers.
Sound is the 6th one on the list under Original Drivers.
The modem and keyboard can now be installed.
Be sure to save this CD for a Driver backup.
Hope this helps.
