I just bought a Dell 640m but I do not like the preloaded Vista. I reformatted the disk and installed Windows XP. For whatever reason, the CD that comes with my laptop does not come with all the drivers. I went to Dell's website, but still did not find all the drivers needed. Now my computer is lacking network controller driver (thus, it cannot even connect to internet), wireless driver, sound, video.... What should I do?

When you went to dells support site, did you enter your service tag code? If you did you should get all the drivers for either XP or Vista. If that didn't work try the 600M model drivers. They have all of them over there.

try and link up with another computer that has Internet and go off that or try reinstalling xp(real copy not from computer mfg) .you can go to Microsoft and try and find the drivers you need. also you can go drivers.com but you should be able to get what you need from Microsoft. you can also try putting them on a floppy disk from another computer. good luck
