As always, my colleague brought me some challenges on installing Windows XP on a Vista PC. This time is a notebook PC. He already installed most of the drivers with the exception of the video driver. He actually called the tech support and still couldn’t get the video driver installed. Luckily I managed to get it installed. Now the notebook PC is free from Windows Vista.
