Endless Paradigm

I got a toshiba laptop A satellite model. It came with vista. When i first got it i liked vista and the cool look of aero. But then i got tired of the loading time and the excess use of RAM. I then installed Windows Pro XP SP2. I noticed a difference right away. My Pc was alot faster and booting time and loading times were incredible! But to my amazement Toshiba doesn't have a drivers for XP. They only have drives made for vista. I was going crazy looking for some. I finally found one for video and audio. But i couldnt find any for the Wireless LAN and a modem. I couldnt get on the internet!!! I called toshiba  all they told me was that the laptop i got was only made to run with vista (he was saying something about BIOS). I was furious. If you guys have had this problem and found some drivers for Toshiba Satellite model A135-S4666 please show me a link.


I eventually went back to vista. To get back on the net but i still would love to have XP on my laptop.

Thanks

I'll get the drivers for you, just give me a while. I'll always help someone recover from the complete disaster that is Vista.

Ok here is a link to the Toshiba page that lists all available drivers for you laptop, including the Win XP ones. Just grab every listing that says it is for Win XP.

Ok i got the ones i need to go online. Im going to go back to Windows XP. Hopefully it works.

w00t!! im on XP! Thanks UncertainGod and zinga.

hehe, XP is much better than Vista...

Make that XP x64 + nLite PWNS Vista.

Anything pwns Vista. Win2000 Pwns vista.

I ran Windows 1.01 in a VM once and it pwned vista (well, 3 virtual >1mb floppies sure install a lot faster)

LOL anyways I love vlite and nlite
I vlited my Vista. . .its seems fine. . .(actually running faster than when I was XP x32)

Vlite just strips some stuff off it. Vista is still vista. Xp would still run faster.
