Should I uncompress them(If possible) and put them on a CD? Could I install them after Vista is installed. The Drivers are for: 1. Realtek High Definition Audio Driver Update 2.

I'd perform the upgrade first. If any of the XP drivers won't work at all, Windows should substitute generic drivers, and present warnings. After the upgrade, then I would add the newer drivers. Warning: I have no experience with the Vista upgrade. I went straight from Windows XP MCE 2005 (SP3) to Windows 7, which required formatting the disk before installation. There is no direct upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows 7. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
