drivers after downgrade
hello
i recently had to downgrade my dell vostro 1540. it can pre installed with windows 7. this laptop was purchase specially to work with a piece of equipment. the probllem arose when i realised that the equipments datalogger/application would not work on a windows 7 platform, only xp and older. i then proceed to downgrade to windows xp not knowing that finding drivers for the OS on a dell vostro 1540 would be an absolute nightmare.
can someone kindly point me to where i can find network/ethernet controllers and wireless LAN driver for a dell vostro 1540 which was downgraded from windows 7 to XP. i have tried every driver i could find to no avail. i need more than just the ethernet controller but thats specifically what i need most in order to connect to our network, also because the equipment uses the ethernet port for interfacing with the computer.
please help!!!
very desperate.

Hi,
To help you better I would need the Service Tag of the computer.
I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.
I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide system’s Service Tag and contact details so I may access your system records and check for further course of action. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
As of now we have tested drivers for Windows 7 only for Vostro 1540 laptop. Windows XP drivers are not available for this system as of now on our support website. You would be able to search for the particular drivers on the internet, however, the drivers may not be tried and tested for the computer you are using.
Please get back for any more clarification.
Thanks & Regards
