    Is there an easy way to get the device drivers for this model. It came running Vista Home Prem. edition and I need to go back to XP Pro?

    Is there anyone that has made this trip back to the future?

    Thanks,
    Eric

    Laptops that shipped with XP used a different audio chipset.

    Let me know if you have any luck with this. I tried going back to xp by downloading a bunch of hp drivers. I couldn't get the audio to work nor could I get the video to work well. Of course, the two biggest things.
