Please tell me the make and model of your computer and what operating system you are trying to run. I have access to all the drivers for every make and model and I will send you the link where you can get them once you send me the information I need first.If your
computer came with Vista there are no drivers for your
wireless card or your VGA card for XP. If you want to run Xp you can partition your hard drive into 2 logical drives and load Vista on one and XP on the other in a dual boot configuration. Then you will need to purchase an external
USB wireless thumb adapter for accessing your wireless networks when you are using the XP
operating system. When you boot in Vista your
computers wifi will work fine. The
hardware manufacturers are being forced by
Microsoft not to release drivers for XP for new equipment under threat to pull
licensing for Vista. This is the only way to get around it, unless you are capable of
writing your own .inf driver files for the hardware. If you need my help feel free to contact me and I will help you further. This is
Microsoft's way of strong arming everyone to migrate to Vista. I run dual boot configurations on all my equipment because some of my expensive tech
software only runs in the XP environment. Vista is a powerful operating
system if you have the equipment designed for it. It's a shame they removed so much of the backward compatability though. My e-mail address is
geokohler@gmail.com if you need more help send me your number and I will call you for free to discuss your options in more detail. Please take the time to rate this fixya and I will provide you with free support whenever you need it directly. I do this for a hobby, I just like helping people.
