    I purchase a used HP DV6736nr laptop. I have a 32 bit copy of XP Pro here so I reformatted. Can anyone tell me how to get my motherboard drivers? I don't find them on the HP site. I can't even use ether-net with it. I do have a wireless network adapter working on it, but that is about it.

    Thanks

    Paul

    Much of what works with Vista will also work with XP. It's a game of "hit and miss". You can also check Windows device manager to determine the board make & type then search for the appropiate nForce driver package on nVidia's support page.
