    1st i'm shattered and brain dead trying to get
    this 5920 going :p :confused:

    Right here we go......formated my laptop and removed
    XP, had vista on it at new but wiped it when i got it.

    So i wiped it last night and reinstalled XP again, thought
    i had all the drivers but my device manager is showing
    Video Controller and Network Controller are not
    installed correctly.
    Would the Network controller stop my wireless working
    because thats my main problem getting my wireless set
    up. I even tried resorting back to Vista with the alt-F10
    buttons but all its doing is bleaping.

    Can i get it back to Vista, my daughter says she wants it :mad:
    and where exactly do i get the drivers i mentioned i'm missing.

    Once windows xp is installed do i go to control panel and set
    up wireless ? if i remember i'm sure it all went on automatic
    the 1st time i wiped it.

    All help GREATLY appreciated...

    Video and NIC are easy to find under XP =) Stick with XP and try to find the drivers. Look under device manager

    start ---> run ---> devmgmt.msc . If anything is in yellow you are missing the drivers for it.
