I recently put XP on a Compaq Presario C700 that came preinstalled with Vista. I had to change some things in th Bios for Xp to install and now I need some drivers. Nothing is supported. I received links for various drivers that people told me i needed but non of them worked partly because i wasn’t sure how to install them as the instructions were useless. The drivers I’m missing are Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus, Ethernet Controller, Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus, Sm Bus Controller, Video Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatible), and one Unknown device which I think is my wireless (Atheros 06X Wireless Network Adapter). Any help as to how I can get these drivers installed and get XP working would be greatly appreciated.
It came with Vista There is no driver Cd for it I called Hp supporrt and Hp does not support what I'm doing so their online site gave me third party sites to download the drivers but they dont work

did the computer come with the XP downgrade CD or did you buy XP separately?
if the computer came with the downgrade CD, then there should be an XP drivers disc included. if you had XP already or bought it separately, then you can get the drivers for each of the components on the internet. HP might have them on their website under their support section, other wise you have to search for them on the net individually.
it’s not hard to install, download them then click on them and they’ll install.
