    Hi,

    Can anyone direct me to a place i'm able to obtain windows xp 32 bit drivers for my xps studio 1640? Currently i'm running vista 64bit, but due to a few problems i want to go back to XP 32 bit.
    I've looked on dell's website and it seems they only provide vista and windows 7 drivers now. Since XP is still commonly used surly i can get the drivers from some where?

    thanks

    What specific drivers are you looking for? You may be able to get XP drivers straight from the manufacturer's support pages.

    I presume you installed XP for a reason, could I ask what the reason is? I would have thought at this stage that Vista and Win7 are the preferred choices.

    I'm looking for all XP drivers for my laptop. Dell only provides windows vista and windows 7 drivers and even after emailing them they say they cannot provide me with XP 32 bit drivers.
    The reason i'm changing back to XP is due to some problems with a programme on 64 bit vista. I need to run a 32 BIT os and windows XP is the only OS i have that's 32 bit. If anyone could help me get the drivers it would be greatly appreicated as i am struggling to find them.
