However, like I did, you'll probably encounter endless levels of frustration with Vista as a whole. It's worth the time to dig around in search of XP-compatible drivers for your video adapter because your productivity will be substantially higher in XP than Vista. That I can promise.

You just need to update the inf-file coming with the drivers. Try these: http://www.omegadrivers.net/nvidia.php or update the inf files yourself. I use the the omega drivers on my HP Laptop without any problems :) You can still install standard XP drivers on your laptop. You just need to update the inf-file coming with the drivers.
