    The laptop was acting crazy all icons disappeared. And the network adapter stopped working. I decided to reformat, since never had been in years. I figured it would be a good chance to install xp back on the laptop, since its so weak. But now I have a driver issues. The drivers compaq provides only work vista.

    The xp section has no broadcam wireless card drivers. I tried many different others with no luck. No wifi card is detected. I can not connect online.

    Im really annoyed :(
