Well a good place to start would be to go into your control panel and list all of your hardwear, Video, chipset, cardbus & audio controller, WiFi, Ethernet......then start googling to find out if any of your hardwear EVEN has XP drivers

I feel your pain Djooryabi. I wanted to get off Vista 64-bit would crash on me everyday, every hour almost. And yes I tried troubleshooting people and it was definitely Vista having issue. I took the plunge and installed XP 64-Bit but I had to find all the drivers. I have most of them and only missing two, my ACPI management driver and IDT / Sigmatel drivers. And by the way, no crashing on XP at all for me and it is so much faster.. Eat that Vista

I found that the last three unknown I have is related to hotkeys. I don't really care for them but it would be nice to have them. I am uploading the drivers now. Hopefully someone can get some use out of them. The only problem with the audio driver I used is that the IDT Sigmatel tray does not work correctly so I just disabled it, but audio works fine.

If you check out the write up on the link provided by qhn, they explain how to get th HD Audio working with the XP drivers. It works fine BTW.

I have the HD Audio working Dave-p. The only thing not working is the Driver Application Launcher drivers as there are none for XP. The only problem I had with IDT Sigmatel is the audio try not the drivers.

XP 64-Bit Drivers are here I hope these help other people who downgrading to XP. These are based on my Gateway Notebook in my sig. I'm sure they would work on other Gateways as well.
