    Hey guys, I will be going through the process of installing XP Pro on my M1330 and was just curious if anyone has had problems with the HDMI and HD sound not working on their systems after installing XP Pro?

    I heard from a couple friends that they would not work but I am skeptical and wanted to see what you guys have to say.

    I played a DVD on my LCD TV over HDMI in XP Pro and it worked without a hitch. It even set up faster and was just plug and start playing compared to Vista.

    Awesome, did you follow a specific guide for installing xp pro? I see the guide here but do not know how up to date the drivers are etc.. I also notice no specific driver for the HDMI which was what made me wonder.
