OK and good luck. Possibly restoring the laptop to original factory state
would be worth trying though such a process would delete any of your data
files so you surely would want to do a backup before trying that. I have a
Gateway laptop that came with Vista and I installed XP Pro and it works very
well but it took me a while to find all the drivers that would work. I tried
about a dozen different drivers for audio before I got it to work. Generally
when you have driver issues it is best to start by finding if the
manufacturer of the laptop or maybe the chipset [audio/video] has a newer
version specifically for Vista. You can also try to use the rollback feature
for drivers in Device Manager if you think new drivers are causing a
problem.
