Question Downgrading to XP from Vista

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of downgrading my system from Vista to XP. The only issue I have is, finding out which drivers I'll require to run the system to its full capabilities. I understand that the graphics card will require a driver but I don't know the other components that will require a driver.

Here are the system specifications:



Many thanks.

You will have to go to the motherboard makers, and see if they have Win XP chipset and sound device drivers for your motherboards model / type before you do anything first.

Then look for the other drivers...

Hi Daniel, welcome to PCHF

You will probably find that your motherboard manufacturer's website will have quite a few of the drivers you need. We can try and find these if you like if you follow the instructions here to post your system specifications.

I have found the graphics card drivers you will need:
GeForce/ION Driver Release 185

You may find after installing XP that Windows Update finds and installs a lot of the drivers you need anyway.
