It is next to impossible to find XP driver for the HD4250 GPU, so unless you are content with Windows default graphic driver I recommend that you try to get used to Widnows 7.

cheers ...

I hope you made your restore DVDs before you did the XP install, then you will at least be able to go back to the original configuration while you decide what to do...if not, then get ready to purchase a copy of Win7

If you are contemplating another choice of laptop which is running Vista or Win7, before you purchase it, go to the companies website and ensure there is a full list of XP drivers for that model

They need to get the software up to date, XP is on the way out, if not with only limited support. Ask them how long before they phase out XP and if you can get a loaned notebook from the company just for work.

If you need XP, get a laptop that runs windows 7 professional or ultimate... It runs an XP emulator to run XP based programs on..

. Just list out the model number of the HP in question, no need to link us to a sales pitched page

. I don't see anywhere on these HP with HD4250 that offer XP as OS.

cheers ...
