    I bought the the Aspire 5630-6288 (Core 3 Duo T5500, 2GB RAM, Intel GMA 950, etc etc... )

    It originally shipped with Vista Home Premium, but since I need XP for work and also Vista being a big space hogger, I did a clean install of XP Pro.

    After installing all the drivers found on the site ... I am still not able to make the media buttons (vol +/- , play/pause, stop, FF, FB) work in XP. The tech support says that they do not support an OS other than the one it was shipped with.

    Any idea where do i find these missing drivers or any other way to get these buttons working
