Marcopolo, I definitely agree with you on Compaq and Creative labs. I have had problems with drivers from both companies. Creative Labs never seem to work right and for the original audigy cards it took a long time for them to release drivers designed for XP. On the Compaq front, it's their damn proprietary hardware. I had to reinstall windows on an old compaq once. However I couldn't get the network card working. There were no drivers for it on the restore CD, none on the 3com site (they manufactured the card) and only one thing on the compaw site. That was a program you could use to determine which driver you needed to download but the one it told me to dl was nowhere to be found on the net. I just said "sod it" and told the owner to get a new computer.
