Christian,
I don't know for certain, but: For the intelJ3945 802.11a/g mini card, try the intel website. If that fails, you can always buy a PCMCIA or a USB card that works with WinXP. For the integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software edition, try the Creative website. If anyone has drivers, I'd think they would. Again, if you can't find drivers, you can always get a PCMCIA sound card, or even a USB sound card, I would think. Just some ideas. -- freddy "Christian" wrote: i tryed that but u must not know dell :-| they wont help if i dont have the vista in it since they sold it to me with vista "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote: Contact Dell support for assistance: http://support.dell.com/ -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Â*----- "Christian" wrote in message ... ok here i go i had windows vista on a new dell laptop and i formated it with windows xp i cant find my audio driver anywhere for xp could anyone help me plus i cant find my wireless driver if anyone could find these for me or tell me where to get them i would really apreciate it wireless driver is for intelJ3945 802.11a/g mini card audio driver is for intergrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software edition thx alot in advance for all the help |

Go directly to the manufacturer's web sites for drivers. Intel has a great
site. Also if you can find similar hardware devices in other mfg's boards, grab drivers from their sites. Shame on Dell for not making it easy.

Have you checked Dells website on your specific model laptop?
It is usually easy to find the drivers if they exist: http://support.dell.com/support/down...555&l=en&s=biz However some newer computers may not be supported in XP so there may be no or limited drivers. It does not matter if they know you or not, drivers are available for everyone. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "Christian" wrote in message ... ok here i go i had windows vista on a new dell laptop and i formated it with windows xp i cant find my audio driver anywhere for xp could anyone help me plus i cant find my wireless driver if anyone could find these for me or tell me where to get them i would really apreciate it wireless driver is for intelJ3945 802.11a/g mini card audio driver is for intergrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software edition thx alot in advance for all the help |

You might get better results if you posted your Dell model.
You might get even better results if you went to the Dell forums: http://www.dellcommunity.com/ It's unlikely that you're the first person who wishes to convert a Vista laptop to XP. Dell support may be unhelpful not because they sold you the laptop with Vista, but because they don't sell the laptop with XP. They don't support configurations that they don't sell. (Dell uses support scripts, and unskilled labor.) I believe that the "integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software edition" is a set of software that emulates Audigy features on non-Creative hardware. See, for example, http://www.dellcommunity.com/support... =en&cs=&s=gen (link may wrap). There are drivers available for download from Dell, but they may only support updating older versions. http://support.us.dell.com/support/d...&fileid=153776 http://support.us.dell.com/support/d...&fileid=169315 These drivers may work for your 3945 card: http://support.dell.com/support/down...&os=WW1&osl=EN Good luck. Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.
