My friend has an old packard bell sj 51 which comes with Windows Vista preinstalled. He mainly uses that laptop for some sound editing and graphic editing and no net usage if done on it. So one day he thought that he would install xp on it and format the crappy vista but as soon as he started to install the graphic driver for it, he found that xp doesnt supports it. So can anyone tell me how to install the graphic driver on that laptop, is there a workaround or should I revert back to Vista.
I think that you didnt download the correct driver version for your graphic card from nvidia? You need to select the Operating System that is in use and the graphic card that is installed in your machine. Go to nVidia's Driver Download page from here.
Did you grab the drivers something like the below one's before you reformatted your machine:
Driver Backup (it's free)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/drvback/
Driver Magician 3.28

If you go here then you will come to know that there is no xp driver support for your model. They either have no intention of writing drivers for your machine, or, it takes it's time.
