Vista Drivers on XP?
Ok, well I have a Gateway M-1626 laptop, as we know how companies are gay and only offer drivers for Vista and if you want to run XP and need drivers, they basically say "Screw You".

Anyways, last night I got feed up of having no sound or wireless on my XP Laptop, so I Installed to Vista, and got the Wireless and Sound to work with their drivers, but I'm constant getting BSOD's, Hardware Failure notices, freezing, programs crashing/not running, sluggish-ness. So I'm wanting to switch to XP cause I can't do anything on it with Vista.

I was wondering, do you think the Vista (32-Bit) Wireless and Sound Drivers probably work on XP Professional (32-Bit)? I know its binary compatible, but will it still work? They're almost the same.

Here are the Drivers I want to install:
Wireless Driver
Sound Driver

Thanks Everyone!
