Will Vista drivers work in XP?

[theconfused1]

Just bought a laptop and I hate vista but there are no other drivers available it seems!

Some or most of the vista drivers will not work properly in XP.

There are almost certainly XP drivers for your laptop (available from the manufacturer) on the internet.

why do you hate Vista?

Well it's not so much that I hate vista but I can't use it at my school...forced mcaffee crap that isn't available yet for vista just to get onto the network...signing into a domain is another whole issue (vista home premium won't let you without spending more money just like XP home) so I figured out how to get some drivers from a different laptop to work for xp and i threw mandriva 2007 on it only problem im having now is no opengl desktop with the builtin nvidia drivers! teehee
