Now even u install Vista again u ll not find the drivers installed on it.
Because drivers are installed manually from their CDs. and now u also need the cds of drivers ur laptop using.
In case of some laptops and pcs devices windows XP is not able to install their drivers it need a driver cd.
So where u have buy the laptop ask them for its relevant cd.

Well, if it is a Compaq, then you should be able to go to the support website and see if they have XP drivers for the hardware. If they do, then GREAT!!! Download them and install them. If not, then you will have to go to the support website for the maker of the sound card and download the XP driver, if they have one.

Regards,

Jeff
