    I bought a new computer and it came with Vista and I have had nothing but trouble with it. I cant get most of the stuff I was running to work. I bought a new copy of Windows XP Pro and would like to change to that as that is what I had before and everything worked OK. This new computer has a 9 in 1 card reader and I would like to know if XP has a driver for it or will I have to try to find one? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    You have to find all of the drivers for xp. And yes, xp does support card reader.

    Hi

    Just a sugesstion make sure that you have a SATA driver on floppy before you start.Win XP disk does not have one and when you start setup it will not see any HDD. also some devices may not work properly like Video card or camera like it happened with my toshiba.Search the net before you start.Good luck.
