All the other drivers installed fine except for the display/video driver.

So I called HP and they said because my laptop came with vista I have to install vista back on and use the recovery disk that came with it. Then I asked even if i DL the XP version of the drivers how come it doesn't work, and the best the guy could say is because my laptop came with vista so I have to use vista.

My only problem is my dad lost the recovery disk and the other stuff that came with the laptop. I do not want to order another disk unless that is my only option.

Any suggestions I kinda think the HP guy is bullshitting.
So you installed an unsupported operating system on your computer without having a backup plan and that's HP's fault ... ?

Slap yourself silly for me ...

This thread should be retitled, "I'm an idiot, help me, please!"
