Vista, sabotage

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4817 packaged with Vista Sabotage.
I call it that because if any of my old programs install on it, it
eventually sabotages parts of them to not work correctly. It then refuses
to unistall enough of some components to make sure you have further
problems in the future. It is also slow and hogs even a good computers
resources.
Needless to say, I wanted to go back to a lesser evil; XP.
I found Toshiba support to be useless, offering no sound drivers
to fix the problems. AMD Turion and ATI Radeon did provide drivers.
However all drivers I have found at driver sites so far including the
Realtek drivers will not work on this sytem with XP.
I have most of the computer working now, but really need sound drivers
that will actually work. I would appreciate help in finding them.

If the manufacturer doesn't supply them you are basically stuffed.

The trick is to do the research before parting with the cash.
