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

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)

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