Most likely your Video card is that old or that out of fashion that they do not longer have the drivers available for your video card, I'm amazed your able to actually run your PC with Vista with those specs, I suggest a full upgrade unfortunately else you will see MAJOR problems with a computer running vista alone on that specs.

no because xp is a totally different operating system your xp drivers will be useless you would need to get he xp drivers and i do advise the downgrade to xp and wait a few years to upgrade because vista is so riddled with bugs and glitches it's not worth using it

Some of the hardware vendors don't provide XP drivers anymore. I work in an intel graphics division; we still support XP for most of our hardware, but other divisions in intel don't. My Sony viao does not run XP by itself; only through a VM. If your system came preconfigured with vista you should keep it. I've found vista to be faster than XP (contrary to popular belief.) I got rid of all of the crapware on my vaio and it does a full reboot cycle in 40 seconds.

I have a USB cable that fits, but I need the device driver for Windows Vista. I would like to do it without having to purchase anything.

I have an HP tx 2000z with windows vista. I can normally run the webcam out of Youcam or Quickplay, however now when I open Youcam I get a message saying "No video device detected." I don't understand how a built in device becomes disconnected but I've followed all the uninstall/reinstall directions to no avail. I can't find anything to do with the webcam in Device Manager and I've tried to install new drivers from hp.com. I also don'thave anything else plugged into the usb ports. Does Anyone know how to fix this problem?!

u can use virtual pc which is free the express when u set a hard drive just select a entire drive

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 download

vm ware should be able to do it aswell problem tho if u set up xp on a vm pc then stick in another pc ul probs have tons of problems due to the fact the genric drivers it will load will be for another pc can u use there pc to install windows u said ur pc the motherboard\bios got a problem but if ur fixing sum1 else pc cant u boot it from theres ?

another possiblity is install from usb stick or hard drive if cd has problem when booting from it ( stick the entire cd image on a usb stick and boot from usb ) or stick the entire disk image on old hard drive only needs to be about 700mb then boot from secoundry hard drive and install on primary if that makes sense it probs work a lot better since it will install all the correct genric drivers

and if u want to install the drivers before u switch um over for graphics u wont be able to see the screen after u install it and what with most drivers being semi intelegent it probs wont let u

i know for a fact u cant install nvidia drivers on a system that aint got nvida card in it keeps saying device is not detected setup will now exit

and 2 person below he already said he cant boot from cd

Probably a clean install. By this I mean make sure it does not already exist on the computer. Second make sure there has not been a directory left behind from your attempts. This sometimes interferes with installing a program. Other than that there should be no reason for it not to install.
