Download the Driverpacks you want for XP. Packs like Webcam or Bluetooth are less important and 3rd party meaning they are not officially tested and could cause problems. An important note is these days the DriverPacks are only distributed as torrents so you will need either a torrent client or use something like Bitlet which allows you download torrents through your web browser.

Packs are always well seeded and should download quickly. If you want to reduce space and only include one set of drivers for your own PC for instance, download the Graphics pack which contains the required drivers.

It is just a general comment because I see those poor guys every day trying to retrofit XP onto a Vista machine - many times without success. I draw your attention to this thread in case it is only a problem of some XP programs that do not run on Vista.

Yes WHS you are right, but the thing is that we are aboard the ship now, and we can not go back
