Just bought a laptop.The problem? It came with Vista. Its not as bad as I thought it would be, but as someone who likes to tinker, it blows bad.
So....I have an unused XP license. I bought a HD and installed XP on it. Problem is some of the stuff isn't working due to, what I believe is, drivers. I'd download some drivers to try, but one of the devices not working is the ethernet port.
The Gateway site has drivers, but they labeled for Vista.
The beast is a Gateway P-7805u FX.
So.....will the Vista drivers work -or- are there other sources for XP drivers??
