Thanks andante, you rule man, I was having trouble with the ethernet adapter as it said pro 1000 blah blah and there were a lot of similar drivers, also the flash card reader, i dont know how you found that, thanks again, good karma my friend, and yay im happy, XP while not amazing is thousand times better than vista!

I have a P105-S6227, I reinstaled XP and lol of course drivers didnt work.
