    Hi all,

    I am helping my friend laptop, an HP Pavilion DV6780SE that originally have Vista Premium. Due to all the problems given by Vista (like the infamouse "Local Network only"), I decided to nuke Vista and install Windows XP.

    We got a new XP license, but when I went to HP website ( here), the majority of XP drivers are not available. Notably:

    - Realtek High-Definition Audio Driver
    - NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS (Should I use laptopvideo2go.com?)
    - Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem Driver
    - Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) Driver
    - Ricoh 5-1 Card Reader Driver

    The ones that are available are things like Synaptics Touchpad, Intel Storage Manager, etc.

    Can anyone who have the 6780SE or similar laptop point the right drivers for the above?
