Audio Driver ADI1981HD High Definition Soundmax
Download Graphic card & Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver Ver. 14.33.1
Download Modem Driver
To install the LAN driver you have to unrar the intel.rar file, then go to device manager, right click on the "Ethernet Controller" -> Update Driver and then search for the folder where you have unrared intel.rar
Download LAN Driver Intel
NOTICE: In order for your lan to work under XP, you have to flash your bios. Please note that this is a dangerous procedure, as it may damage your notebook if unexpected power break down occurs. There is a tool, provided by HP which flashes your bios automatically, the process is pretty straight forward. While you run the tool, your notebook MUST be connected to your Power Supply Ac Adapter, and you MUST close all of your programs. It takes a while, so don't do anything while it lasts, just be patient. Here is the link where you can download the BIOS flash utility:
Download HP Bios Flash Utility
Download Wifi Driver Broadcom 4311AG 802.11abg
Well that would be it. Enjoy your notebook like you should, with Windows XP! :)
UPDATE: I've heard complaints that some of the links are down. Here is a link with all of the drivers packed in one rar file. HP Compaq 6720s XP Drivers - All

Asus X51R series XP Audio Drivers
Today I sold an Asus X51R laptop and after installing Windows XP I put the drivers cd supplied when I come to realize that there are only Vista drivers on it! Man enough is enough, I don't know what those Ms guys are doing for the notebook manufacturing companies, but this Vista propaganda is no good. Not good for the end users, and even worst for us, salesman at pc retail stores >:]
I've downloaded the drivers for XP from the Asus Support site and every driver installed fine except for the audio and the modem. I started to get annoyed with this "right cd/wrong driver" problem, happening to me pretty often lately, when suddenly while searching trough the net, I came across a microsoft hotfix needed for the High Definition Audio to work.
Company: Asus
Product: X51Rseries
Product Number: X51R-AP016
ID: 1A
Problem:
The audio drivers on the cd supplied are perfect, but there is no Microsoft Hotfix for the high definition audio included and therefore windows Xp won't recognize the audio and modem.
Solution:
Hydrogen Audio Forum Post with download link for MS Hotfix KB888111.exe
Download, install the hotfix from the link at the forum and your HD audio and modem driver should be installed fine.

Acer Travelmate 2490 Wireless Driver XP
Another one bites the dust...
Company: Acer
Product: Travelmate 2490
Product Number: 2493NWLMi
Model Number: BL50
Wireless Adapter: Atheros AR5BXB63
Problem: The driver supplied with the cd gets installed if the instructions provided by acer are followed, but it has an exclamation mark at the device manager so wireless won't work.
Solution:
If you have similar troubles installing drivers on another acer model, you can try different drivers from different models of acer notebooks, and also try the "Don't search" option like I showed in the video if it won't install automatically.

MSI Megabook M673 No Audio Drivers?
I don't know what is it with these notebook manufacturers these days, it's like some kind of trend to have at least one driver mistaken/not working on the original driver cd provided. I think maybe if they put contextual ads at their 'download drivers' pages they could double profits. Here is another notebook from MSI to which the original driver cd lacks proper audio drivers. There are audio drivers on it, but they won't match. I've downloaded the ones from the Realtek site and they worked like a charm! Here is the info for the model and the original download page at MSI:
Company: MSI
Product: Megabook M673
Product Number: M673X-011EU (I think the same scenario goes for the M673X-013EU)
Problem:
The original cd provided with the laptop contains audio drivers, but they won't install.

Acer Aspire 5610z Wireless XP Drivers Found!
Company: Acer
Product series: Aspire 5610 (5610z)
Product Number: Aspire 5612ZNWLMi
Model Number: BL50
Problem:
Wrong driver on the cd provided, the driver was for intel wifi adapter.
Solution:
Acer usually manufactures their notebooks with either Intel, Broadcom or Atheros wifi adapters, and in my case it was Broadcom.
Acer Aspire 5610z Broadcom Wireless Driver XP - 73.3Mb
Acer Aspire 5610z Atheros Wireless Driver XP - 1.6Mb
(If you are unsure of your wifi model, turn around the laptop and look around if somewhere reads atheros. The models with atheros adapters usually have a small text where the model of the atheros adapter is printed.)
