    cant find network or soundcard driver for xp
    « on: March 05, 2008, 10:26:00 AM »
    I have a brand new hp slimline s3300z that came with Vista and I switched it to wIndows Xp home edition. I can't get on the internet and I have no sound. I've looked all over for drivers and can't find any for my comp. or parts. anyone know where to get the drivers needed??
    Here is a link that has most of the info w/ model numbers that you probably need to know.
    Thanks to anyone.

    This site shows that the 3300 is for Vista only so drivers for use with XP may never have been available.

    However you might be able to use PCI cards and maybe find drivers for them which will run in XP.

    Good luck
