Laptop that is supposed to have XP but has Vista, having problems getting drivers. ?

Question

I bought a laptop on eBay. It originally came with XP, but the guy bought the Anytime Upgrade Vista disc, and installed it. It's a 4 year old HP. It wasn't Vista compatible, but he upgraded the entire system to the specs needed. It handles Vista well. My problem is that I need the sound card driver, and HP doesn't have Vista drivers for this computer. I read somewhere to try the XP driver and it hasn't worked. Any ideas?

Hi tiffany

There is a workaround to any issues. Just go in the compatibility option and select the driver to run in windows 2000 compatibility mode or Win xp or what your choices are.

Answer 2

I've found that upgrading from XP to Vista is NOT a good idea...  You'll experience problems often.  My best advice, downgrade back to XP!
