I got this laptop this week and I didn't really like the vista which this laptop came with. So I installed XP and all was fine until I tried installing drivers for the Wireless.
Drivers supplied were for vista only so I checked this drivers and there were 2 on a CD:
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG

I found them at Intels web site, installed and drivers say there is no wireless card in this laptop. I suppose I need drivers from Zoostorm which is hard when you look at their website http://zoostorm.com/

Since laptop is useless without WIFI for me I installed Vista back. Not the one I had before but a different version, clean install. All drivers installed fine except for a TV card and freaking wireless again. Drivers(from CD) installed fine but device manager reports that hardware is in need of a driver. So I manually select a driver for it. Then I get driver successfully installed but the device cannot start. Now it seems that the driver they gave me is not the driver this laptop needs or what?

I have also found a recovery partition ( no CDs images/smilies/sad.gif) but how do I use it?
I guess thats what I get for buying cheap laptop but its here already so please help...
