Hi people,
I've been trying to instal XP on my HP Pavilion dv6100cto for a few weeks. This laptop was built for Vista. Obviously my ignorance is only superceeded by my stubborness. I have a few older programs that just won't work on Vista.
But during my xp installation I learned that my usb ports and my sound board just aren't recognized. I began last night downloading your Driver packs to try to solve my problem. But after downloading I have tried to install the drivers by clicking to open the downloaded file(s). I am met with an error similar to the following:
C:Documents and Settings\Ken\My documents\New xp drivers\DP_Chipset_wnt5_X86-32_803.7z is not a valid win 32 app.
I don't know how to open/install these drivers. I know you have several tutorials on the subject. But, When I try to open any of the files on the page..I am met with the message as above. I can't seem to open the new files. I have read some forums but as of yet havent learned the particulars.
Any simplified steps would be greatly appreaciated.
