Hi,

First make Vista beckup. All informations how to do it here.

You have a folder with drivers & programs that may prove very helpful after XP downgrade. Copy folder C:\Swsetup to DVD Before formatting your hdd.

Then update Your Bios here.

Now You need to slipstream Your Sata drivers (only ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller) with nLite.

Here is guide how to do it and here are Sata drivers  for You.  ust unrar this drivers with winrar.

Be sure also that You are using WinXP SP2 version. If you haven't got SP2 version here you can download this service pack

and here You have got guide how to slipstream this file with Your system again by nLite.

In this program You can even burn Your new XP cd with this driver.

Please check first this link written by Joshua Wood and concentrate in it on problems that may appear when You will be installing sound card. I know then this is guide for dv5 but many hardware and drivers are the same for both models.

2. sp41693, vista driver, reported work in XP here

3. sp39671, vista driver, reported works in XP here or here

4. Find Your Vista audio driver on this DVD where You burned C:\Swsetup folder. It may also work under XP.

When You will install any audio driver with success check is Your sound working.

If there will be no sound after restart check this thread. There are informations how to solve this.

How to install QuickPlay in Win XP:

First:

You need to make a registry hack to install it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\QPFlag]
"QPFlag"=dword:00000003
"@"=""

If you dont know how to do it, just download,QuickPlay.zip, extract it with WinRar or WinZip, double click on it to run it.

Second:

QPW (QuickPlay) version 2.3 for XP here

Update to the final version of QPW for XP here

Skin update here

[Daniel_Potyrala]

It's Your choice. Check what this update gives and take decision. Remember then Bios update You can make only in Vista.
