    Before you try installing XP on a Vista laptop, check with the laptops support website and see if XP drivers are available at all... If not, reinstall Vista and update it using Windows Update all the way to Vista, Service Pack 2. Its not Vista that's crappy, it's all the crap that they put on laptops after the operating system goes on
