    Hello

    My friend has an HP dv5-1015ea that came with Vista. But it makes things really slow. So I was wondering if you guys can kindly have a look at the technical specs and let me know the links all the hw drivers for Windows XP. So far, i've located nVidia driver only. :|

    Regards

    ash

    It's not Vista itself, it's the way HP installs it. I say you'd be much happier upgrading to Windows 7 rather than downgrading to XP.
