    Has anyone ,managed to successfully downgrade from Vista to XP on this machine ?
    If so can you supply a posotive web link where to find the right drivers,so all devices in the device driver section are activated & don't have any exclamation marks present.
    I know there is a thread on HP's website & its not very instructive,it seems a bit hit & miss.
    If you get it right ,you get it right !
    I managed a couple of tries,but always ended up without a network controller &
    some device called unibrian pc 1394 missing !!
    Amongst other devices not working - no sound .
    Cheers

    Please check the HP stickies or try searching. All the drivers have been compiled before.
