    Hey everyone!

    I have a hp dv2000z (amd version, came w/ vista). I been browsing through the forums, and i've seen dual-booting guides and totally wiping out vista for xp. However, i still need vista, but i also need xp for some work. I have a copy of vmware workstation, and i've installed a copy of xp for virtualization *note, performance here is not an issue.* I'm having problems with the touchpad drivers and such because i can't change the speed of the mouse (touchpad). Additionaly, when I went to the HP site to download the hp synaptics driver, it wouldn't work anymore. This also occurs with other drivers. Could someone please help for my driver problems?!

    P.S in the very beginning after a clean install I used driver magicain on the default vista and took a "snapshot" of vista drivers. I'm not sure if this will help.
