    Hi

    Don't know the reasoning for your poll, as don't know what solutions you are refering too, but what is your model version of Toshiba PC?

    Does the Vista partition load and connect to the internet ok?

    Did you check with Toshiba on their support and drivers site if XP drivers for your model where available as many times they are not easily found.

    If you boot into the XP partition in device manager do you have any yellow ! marks, if so what? as it coukd just be a case of getting the correct XP chipset and network drivers.

    Hi

    My Toshiba is Satellite A135-S4427.
    My VISTA works perfectly and connects to intenet via LAN and Wireless both.

    I did check drivers on Toshiba site, but they did not have any drivers for my Toshiba model for XP operating system.

    I tried to install few drivers (for XP OS) of another Toshiba notebook (A105-S4094) and got some success in gaining my audio, graphics, USBs etc.

    However, following are still Yellow question marks in Deveice Manager:-

    1. Non Plug and Play drivers
    - Serial

    2. Other Devices
    - Ethernet Controller
    - Mass Storage Controller
    - Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus
    - Unknown Device


    Thanks

    Hi

    Could do with an Everest log from the Windows XP install side, and maybe from that be able to locate some drivers.
