"Stuck" after XP installation.

Alnero · 05-31-2008, 03:16 AM

It's been 2 days since I've downgraded from Vista to XP on my packard bell easynote and now I'm stuck . There's no sound at all, the graphics are slow (everytime I drag a window I can see it break up). But, that's alright I expected that much to happen. Since I don't have the CD with all the hardware drivers on I set out to find the latest drivers for it online and have found them but not for XP, they're for vista. The OEM website did not offer any XP drivers for my notebook. I doubt they'd work if I installed the vista drivers. What can I do now, is there naywhere I can get drivers for XP since the OEM website won't provide them? Please, help.

I know, I should have but I thought they might have the required drivers for any OS you may install.

Thanks for the link.

EDIT: It would seem that I need an Internet connection first. I'm having a real hard time trying to find a driver for XP.
