My wife's computer is a Compaq Presario C700

service tag: C769US
She has had nothing but trouble with Vista so, I downloaded it to XP as many people have. Too late, I learned about all the problems people have had with this. I have XP running but none of the drivers I have installed other than the touchpad driver works. Can someone tell me what drivers I need to make this work.
I would appreciate any help.
P.S. I ordered the recovery disks as a last resort. I still hope to make XP work.

Go to start-Run, type regedit, press enter. open the "Folder" called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE inside that you'll find SYSTEM, open that. Then open CurrentControlSet. Then open Control Then open Class
Inside there you will see a bunch of "folders" with names like {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}
You need to go down through them looking at what appears on the right under the key "default" when you open each one, until you find "Network Adapters" Open that folder, then go down the list fo numbered "folders" until you find the one that has the name of your Atheros driver under "DriverDesc" This is where you need to add those keys. Follow the directions until you find your Wireless Network Adapter listed next to DriverDesc. In that same directory, i.e., 0003, add these Dword values:
New->Dword Value Name=gpioFunc0ActHi and Value Data=0 Click Ok. New->Dword Value Name=gpioPinFunc0 and Value Data=3 You are done. These values should be seen in the same window as DriverDesc and the name of your Wireless Network Adapter. For this to work with the LED you must disable your wireless through your network settings and then re-enable.

Cheryl, Thanks for helping us out. I was able to downgrade succesfuly. One thing is happening is when i click on the "Smart audio" or "Audio devices" in control panel windows suddenly blanks out and computer restarts. Other than that all is working out good. I tried reinstalling the sound driver but no luck I have a C770 model.
