Vista downgrading to XP problem

[Rampagez]

I'm trying to downgrade my Vista back to XP but i have one problem.
When i checked device manager after i finished downgrading, i was missing Video Controller Driver, Ethernet Driver, and many more. I couldn't connect to the internet and my LAN connection was missing. Does anyone know what caused this to happen?

Hello,

When installing a Operating System you lose all your drivers for the components within it. So you need to find all those missing drivers and install them.

But how is that possible when i'm unable to go online?
Do you mean i have to get on another computer, download the files then transfer it to my computer

Hello,

Yes that is exactly what you have to do. Download the drivers to another PC then use a USB Thumbdrive or a CD to transfer them to the PC that needs the drivers.
