Downgrade Dv6500 Vista OS - Lost Sound Drivers
Jan 29, 2008
I recently downgraded my HP PAVILION DV6500 from vista to xp because I was having complications with connecting a dial up plus other downloading other softwares. Now that my system is with xp, I have lost sound and some other drivers. I have tried downloading several drivers but none seem to work. Right now I have a laptop without sound or even VGA.I need help.Please,if anyone can send me a software to get back my sound and other drivers I will be most grateful. I like my laptop and don't want to lose it.

I recently put XP on a Compaq Presario C700 CTO that came preinstalled with Vista. I had to change some things in th Bios for Xp to install and now I need some drivers. Nothing is supported. I received links for various drivers someone told me i needed but none of them worked partly because i wasn't sure how to install them as the instructions were useless. The drivers I'm missing are Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus, Ethernet Controller, Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus, Sm Bus Controller, Video Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatible), and one Unknown device which I think is my wireless (Atheros 06X Wireless Network Adapter). Any help as to how I can get these drivers installed and get XP working would be greatly appreciated.

I started another thread a couple of days ago but have progressed a bit since then so thought i would start a fresh one.I have recently formatted my hard drive and lost drivers for my soundcard. I have been onto my motherboard manufacturers website and downloaded the appropriate driver. This worked (or so i thought) the ?Media Controller in device manager disappeared and my soundcard appeared. Media player plays CDs now, as do all my other sound related programs. The problem is i still can't hear any sound!

I've got a Lenovo X60 Tablet, which came preinstalled with XP. Last year I installed Vista Ultimate (OEM version), but of different reasons I do not want Vista anymore on my PC and want to downgrade to XP Tablet edition. I have now a XP Tablet edition that I want to install, but it crashes just after it have started the process.
PC is turned on, it boots from the USB CD-Rom drive, it starts to install the drivers, but when it comes to where it says "restarting windows", it crashes and gives me a blue screen telling me that the disk can be corrupted, should be checked for viruses etc. etc. This have happened three times now, and now I have been searching the internet for information of how to work around this. I haven't found any good sources yet and hoped some of you guys at this forum could help me out

I recently downgraded from vista to xp pro and during the downgrade i unplugged a 400 gb hard drive that i use only for storage. after a clean install of xp pro i plugged in the drive and while booting i get a wierd dos looking screen that says vista cant load or something of that nature. i unplug the drive and viola xp loads. this is just a back up drive with nothing but music and pictures on it. could vista have written something to the drive i cannot see? format is not an option. if i plug it in after xp loads it works great and i can access the drive perfectly

With all the threads providing help for people who want to downgrade their Vista OEM branded systems to XP, I'm wondering how you go back to Vista if desired using the recovery partition. In this particular case the computer in question is a Dell. I successfully installed Windows XP, but the MBR was obviously overwritten, so the F8 and F11 keys do not provide the option to access the recovery partition. I did some searching on the web, but I wasn't able to find a solution to this

I am attempting a downgrade on my Dell XPS M1530. It has Vista Ultimate. I have unallocated hard drive space for the XP partition. When I put in my XP disc, it loads and states that "Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer. Make sure any hard disks are powered on and properly connected etc. etc." How come this is happening? I know people have downgraded this specific laptop before, as it is all over the internet but I can't find anyone else getting this error

I bought an HP Pavilion p6101f that came with Vista Home Premium installed on it. I bought an OEM version of Windows XP Pro with the intention of downgrading the operating system. I was told that our network, which runs mostly XP Pro machines, might suffer problems if we installed a computer not running Vista - I guess mismatched OS's might pose problems.In any event, after I booted to Vista, I could not see an option to "Install" XP upon seeing the associated dialog box after inserting the disc while in the middle of a successful Vista session. I then tried to boot to the XP CD, in order to install XP and then restore the system.I kept getting the Blue-Screen of Death.
The computer will begin to boot Fedora (Linux), Windows 7 repair disk, and maybe some others - but not XP Pro.
I want to install Windows XP Pro on my buddy's computer that came with Vista, but I am physically incapable of doing so.

I posted here in February '08 about a downgrade from Vista Home Basic to XP Home, and received good information on finding the necessary drivers at the Acer website.
I got XP on the Acer up and running, Internet access, etc. all appeared fine. I am now adding speakers and unable to get sound. I viewed Device Manager and found to my surprise that I've got question marks next to Display Adapter >Video Controller and Other Devices > PCI Device. Interestingly, Sound, Video and Game Controllers appears normal in Device Manager, but no sound card appears in the list (interesting since it is lack of sound that prompted me to check in the first place

This is about sound issues from the computer as in cant get sound from the computer.Went to computer properties then multi media controller has yellow question mark next to it so tried to update driver it goes to the wizard but it will not find any drivers for it without a cd which dont have. Tried roll back drivers says no drivers are backed up on file. Went to sound audio video game controllers audio codecs says all the codecs are working for this computer. Control panel sound audio says no sound device is connected. The sound card is realtek ALC655 AC 97 enhanced audio controller. Again got these drivers from foxxconn and exactly same issues. Extracted the files easily enough from wizard but when go to exe run folder the run it says cannot find setupfilex.dll. Then go to gxdver it dont do anything. Go to exe icon run and logger then it goes cannot run please find the setup exe file from the directory. In the folders cannot seem to find anything that will install the actual drivers without a conflicting issue somewhere. So everytime download this compressed driver folders for the drivers it has problems when the files are extracted.The sound card is enabled and mutli media controller says code 28 drivers not installed.

I recently reformatted my computer, after it went FUBAR on me, and now I am having some glitchy scrolls whenever I scroll down web pages, and I have no sound, it's the same thing that happened the last time I reformatted it, and it was like 5 months ago, so I can't remember the damned names of the drivers. Any help? I have windows xp home edition, and my graphics card is an ATI.. I remember something on the lines of CCC Catalyst Control Center.

After the machine has been left alone for some time (at least long enough for the screen saver to kick in, which by default is set to 20 minutes, but the delay required may be more than that 20 minutes), you move the mouse or hit a key to clear the screen saver. The screen saver immediately goes away, leaving you with a blank desktop or blank wallpaper with a mouse pointer. At this point, you would expect to see a dialog box with the title "Computer Locked" that says "This computer is in use and has been locked. While it's in this state, the machine is not frozen: the mouse pointer will move, and the machine can be accessed over the network. If you wait long enough, which I've found to be on the order of 30-45 minutes or so, you will eventually see that "Computer Locked" dialog box, provided you move the mouse occasionally to prevent the screen saver from kicking in again.

I bought this computer... stupidly i might add... from an unnamed (because i used to work there and recommend their business) rent to own store. For the run of the mill daily family pc it had been great! Now... when i bought this pc i ran the VISTA (<--- still leaves a bad taste in my mouth!!) home basic Operating system that came on it out of the box. After upgrading the 512MB of ram to 2GB and discovering vistas ram hungry method of operation... i chose like many others to downgrade to a more stable and familiar windows xp. I of course had friends that hooked me up with XP Black, Im sure you've heard of it by now. That runs on XP pro platform and ran great with the exception of the initial gathering drivers that seemed to not be available for my pc.

I recently purchased a Gateway MT6451 notebook. The first day, it crashed, and said "No Operating System found". It ran very slow, and sluggish. I was not pleased, so I formated the drive and installed Windows XP Pro.
I've scoured the internet for drivers, as Gateway only provides Vista drivers for my laptop. I've got just about everything working except for one item in Device Manager: "SM Bus Controller"
I've read this has to do with the chipset on the M/B. So I went to the AMD site, but don't know which download I need.

I want to replace Vista with XP however my laptop has a SATA HD. I know that I can create a boot disk on either a floppy or a CD however I think it should be possible for me to install the drivers on an external USB HD? Before I format my drive I just wanted to confirm that this is possible?

I am running the public beta 2 of Windows Vista x86 (32-bit version) on my PC--dual-booting with Windows XP SP2-- and I can't get my blasted Internet to work with it. Unfortunately, I haven't any way of running ethernet cable from my PC to the router--and so I need my wireless to work. The adapter is USB--a D-Link DWL-G120 wuireless card. It works fine as I'm using it now in XP SP2. My PC specs are listed in my sig.Anyone know of a driver that will work or any way to make this thing work with the Vista Beta 2 x86 build (public release)? I don't care if it only lets me use 802.11b--I just want a frikin driver that will allow me to test Vista's IE7 and such.

I have a laptop, HP dv6000, with Vista previously installed. Yesterday, I created a partition on my hard drive and installed XP on it. So, ideally, I should have two windows system installed. Maybe in fact, there are 2 systems installed. However, the problem is after I installed XP, it directly loaded into XP without letting me choose which system I wanted to load into when I restarted the pc. In other words, I can not log in my vista system now.

I've just got a new laptop (Dell Inspiron 1545; Celeron Dual Core T3000; Dell Wireless 1397; Vista SP1 Home Basic with Media). Not liking Vista I decided to re-install my old Windows XP (Home Edition SP2). I had already set up the Wireless connection so I went online and got information on how to install this new OS whilst keeping the Vista one on the same HD. I set up a new partition, installed XP...and now can't access Vista or get any wireless. I've tried going into Network Connections, but I don't have a wireless connection icon, there's no choice for searching for local wireless connections & I'm completely flummoxed!
Anyway, I've tried to find out how to restore my wireless - I've re-installed the XP System Software (which was for an earlier Dell Inspiron model btw), tried installing the ISP Eurotools system software as well. I have tried to set up a new network connection etc, but obviously what I really need is for my laptop to detect the available wireless connections so I can re-join the wireless network we use throughout the house. I'm currently borrowing my dad's laptop, and am really hoping someone will know how I can fix this problem!Also, please note that I'm mostly a novice at computers, so I'd really appreciate step by step instructions on how to correct this.

I put my old computers harddrive into this new one, and their drivers might be conflicting to not give some some sound? I have direct, and thats all. Flash movie sound, for example, will not play.The old harddrive is from a Windows 98. I believe these are two different sound cards and they are conflicting.
