    the euro site also only has VISTA drivers for your computer even on the FTP directory.
    Did you check who the video card driver was created by i.e. Nvidia or MSI etc
    If its Nvidia you may possibly be able to gt the latest XP compatible driver from their website. Sorry best suggestion I can think off, but I would check what other drivers your going to need before wiping out Vista to put XP on as there doesn't seem to be drivers available for your model. Try checking this sites search for your notebook & see what threads already posted in regard to XP or Try putting out a new thread asking if they have successsfully installed XP on your model.
