Vista drivers will NOT work with XP.

You will have to download XP drivers from the websites of the manufacturers of the soundcard and wifi manufacturers.

Try the notebook manufacturer's site also.

I would take the machine back to shop and get it restored back to factory default again!

And MAKE a restore disk!

Hi, i have also got the ei-machine 3115. if you go onto the tech-guys website, you will find the drivers on there, you have to go onto support, then find the model of your computer. These drivers worked for me when i installed xp on it
