    Hi there,

    I was wondering if anyone could advise me where to get help for an XP downgrade?

    I can't find/get the drivers for the "Video Controller".

    The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7 4020sa. The HardwareID is showing up as:"PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_68E0&SUBSYS_1443103C&REV_00".

    I believe that's the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470.

    Which file do I need to download? How do I install them on XP?

    Can anyone offer any advise?

    Thanks.

    Why run XP rather than Win 7 64bit? :confused:

    HP won't be giving any support and AMD does not either.
