    Ok, here's the deal. Have a client who is updating her hardware from a system that is 10+ years old to a new ASUS CM5570 machine. The new machine is running Vista Home and my customer wishes to have Windows XP on it instead as she has programs specific to XP that runs her business machines (various printers and embroidery machines). I get XP installed just fine with the exception that it does not recognize all of the peripherals that are embedded on the mobo (notably the NIC, wireless, and other USB based hardware). There are no drivers that are loaded up on the XP install to support these features. So, I re-installed the Vista from the recovery partition and did a driver backup using DriverMax to my flash drive. If this does not work I'm not real certain where to go next. The ASUS driver pack is only for Vista or Windows 7. Any ideas?

    Try the chipset manufacturers drivers and see if they will work? :)
