Alright. I've finally had enough of vista. Here's what I need to know. I would guess the first thing I need to do before installing xp, would be to make sure there are xp drivers for all the hardware on my laptop. How do I know all of the hardware that is in my laptop? Device Manager? And what do I not need to worry about drivers for...stuff that xp instantly recognizes? I've done XP install over xp 20 times. I'm just worried that something is not going to work if I put xp on my vista laptop. Any advice from people that have had to do this, would be greatly appreciated. Vista is totally useless.
