    I recently Installed XP home on my Presario V66300EM. (Originally had vista home premium.. just bought it last week and i've already managed to destroy it.)

    Problem is, I cant find a single driver for the sound/graphics. I installed the wireless drivers and even that fails to work, the WLAN light stays red either way i flip the switch and it never switches away from disabled.

    Is there any way of restoring Vista (I tried my vista recovery disk that i previously made to no avail), or just getting a hold of these drivers? (I'd rather restore vista as another problem arose.. the windows activation that i forgot about, I have already used the CD key on my PC so i'd also need to rebuy XP).

    The card is a GeForce 7150M.. the drivers arent even on the nvidia site, and i have no idea what the sound is..

    Any chance someone else has made a simlilar mistake or have any idea what i can do :(?

    (Sorry if this post is in the wrong place I wasnt sure)
