Ok, so I have been looking for a while now, and I can't find a full list of the drivers needed. Are any of them included in WIndows XP Pro? Or do they all have to be downloaded?

If there is a list, could some1 point it out to me?

I have Vista Home right now, and hate it, I have the XP install, but I am afraid I won't be able to get all the drivers.

I am aware that there are links with lists and lists of drivers to download, I just wish to have a better understanding of which ones to download.

thanks!

Here you go:

http://support.alienware.co.uk/Suppo...downloads.aspx

You can select Operating System XP and then download ALL the drivers for that particular system and OS.

There are the only things wrong with it^

Any one have any advice?

the video driver works fine, just the wireless card won't work, (i can plug directly in though), and the sound isn't there

i think i am missing some things!

Sometimes when installing drivers you should do it in a particular order. Try uninstalling the Sound card drivers and also the wireless network drivers.

Then first install the sound drivers and then the network drivers in this order...
