First a series of questions....then suggestion for XPS 17 to run XP!!!
You guys are genious!
@o.p, enough time has been wasted on it.
Go buy some cheap a#s c2d 15.6 inch Dell Vostro without o.s and install whatever stone aged o.s you want,if you do not even know how to use a Virtual machine.

For DV7,it is a bad laptop and you WILL NOT GET OFFICIAL XP DRIVERS from hp.
Now do not ask the same thing over and over again.
You will not get any answer.
Only business grade laptops with out o.s still get driver support from a few very kind manufacturer(read Dell,Lenovo)

Sorry,I did not mean to be rude.
Me not even remotely a geek(as a matter of fact just a stupid doctor!! You can imagine my level of noobness!)
But even I know these simple basic things.
Who does even buy a 17 inch laptop these days and that too run xp?
And someone with more than a thousand posts suggests a xps17!!
Anyways,sorry if I offended anyone.
Please carry on with your xp laptop discussion.
BTW op has this topic posted in atleast 2 other forums and normal folks everywhere suggested VM.
Somehow,he is still not convinced.
