WinXP drivers needed

[bgb]

Downgrade HP G60-237US Notebook from Vista to WinXP and need drivers especially network drivers.  Any help?  Thanks.

You have to have at least XP with SP2 installed for the chipset drivers from Nvidia to work, but that is the first step.  It loaded the OS with no resistance.  Download the drivers from Nvidia directly  I got everything to work, but am still stuck on the Atheros Wi-Fi card and the HD Audio Bus.  Almost there, but still searching for the solutions there.

Thanks a lot but I already got the LAN driver from NVIDIA and that is working ok.  I too am still trying the wireless, the Coprocessor, the SM BUS Controller and the USB Controllers.  Any suggestion on any of the others.  Thanks again.

I resolved all problems by buying downloading Driver Detective (cost $29.95).  Cost me but I was not getting anywhere by waiting.  Driver Detective search, download and install the correct drivers for your devices.

If you had searched well in this forum, I'm pretty sure you'll find all of your drivers for free.

For those who has CQ50, CQ60 and CQ70 with AMD processor try the following drivers

If its errors, do force instalation as describe below

How to Force Install

Dont have it auto search.

It will give you a list of models, there are 2 geforce 8200's in the list. Click the first one in the list and hit next/ok or whatever.
