Windows XP Professional on Pavilion m9170.de

[KenyaSong]

i just bought a pavilion m9170.de and i already installed xp on it.

there is a big problem though: i can't find the drivers i need and hp is not offering them.

could you tell me what and where from should i download the drivers to get a working computer ?

so far, i've got the graphic card driver (and still i'm not sure if i chose the right one: the exe file has this name (181.22_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe). i don't know anymore the location)

i tried to install the network card but none of the drivers i downloaded worked...

so, if you can point me the direction i should follow , i'll be very grateful

You will need to install the chipset drivers. Reboot and continue installing all other drivers.

Install the Chipset driver and reboot. Then install all other drivers.
