Driver question

Adam18290 · 31 Dec 2008 at 18:37

Ive just been asked to format a brand new laptop with a fresh copy of XP. Its near enough out the box and comes with vista pre-installed onto the notebook.

Ive gone to the manufacturers website only to find vista drivers are available, why is this and is there any way around this?

what about wifi drivers? Im slightly confused as to how I find the audio drivers from the realtek site, is there just a common driver that suits the majority of machines?

Its a realtek wireless controller so ill go to realtek for that as well.

Just to confirm, the hardware manufacturers will have drivers for both xp and vista?

Any chance anyone could help me locate 'SiS Mirage 3 video drivers' for XP please.
