Bought Compaq Presario CQ20-205TU No Drivers? XP not supported?

Hello everybody,
I just bought used HP Compaq Presario CQ20-205TU, and I wish to re-install it with my XP Professional
So I Download some drivers and softwares (from HP)...., to my "stupidity" I forgot to double check the drivers. I thought everything is complete.
So I load my cd, delete the old partition.... created a brand new.... there you go a fresh new Xp professional (luckily it has SATA driver included).
But I have a "mute" OS, and "poor" display (I just found out that sound driver, and graphic adapter driver are not included)
The wireless won't work, nor the blue tooth, and modem (basically everything that is integrated)
So where could I find these drivers?
Thanks for viewing, and bigger thanks for answering..... God bless you

yeah, i was able to install everything and all works fine.
speakers are good, webcam is great (nice resolution), bluetooth also works fine and wireless LAN.
the wireless LAN connection disconnects every once in a while for unknown reason, although i've installed every possible updated drivers...
the screen is ok... the keyboard layout is not good. i have a hard time with the right shift because i keep on hitting the ?/ instead of shift.
the touch control are sensitive. i accidentally touch the wifi icon and my wifi connection got disconnected.
there is one touchscreen key i can't find out how to work. it's like a circle.
everything else is fine. you just have to be very patient in finding the xp drivers because they're not easy to find. i've spend 2 days updating the drivers, updating the xp os up to service pack 3 etc etc.

Compaq Presario C754CA Audio & Graphic Drivers?

Compaq Presario C754CA
Specifications: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01297770&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3650105&os=228&lang=en
Date Bought: 1-2 Years Ago
Original Operating System: Vista
Current Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP 3 [Version 2002]
Well, I noticed that HP and Compaq do not supply Windows XP Drivers. I have managed to install the following things:
Intel Pro [for WiFi]
Broadcom
Intel Chipset
Intel Graphics
Synaptics Touch Pad
Microsoft UUA Audio Driver Bus
Now, I'll just tell you now: I do not know which of the following is my Audio but I have tried both and both have failed.
Realtech HD Audio
Conexant Audio Driver
I install them and I get to the end, and I receive an error about "MEDIA" not being found, thus it stops. I then proceed to the next step: force updating through the Device Manager - Only the Audio doesn't show up on my Device Manager! Originally it did, but now it has refused to appear, thus stumping me further. I will say that even when it was there, though, it refused to update, and claims that "This device has failed to start".
I have tried IDENTIFYING my Audio Driver for better results through Aida32, Driver Detective, and Driver Scanner. Not only was Driver Detective useless, but the other two either couldn't download / install the proper driver, or didn't even display that there was an Audio device on my PC at all!
As for the Graphic Driver, I do have it installed, but it won't launch games for me, such as Ragnarok Online, Lineage II, etc. These games are properly done in Set-Up to launch with Direct 3D HAL; the Mobile Chipset is apparently bullcrikes and I've always used Direct 3D HAL / HAL x2 or whatever it was.
- Questions!
1) Where can I find the name of the Audio Device on my Presario C754CA laptop?
2) Where can I find the driver of the Audio Device on my Presario C754CA laptop?
3) Why does my laptop refuse to launch games I could previously launch on Vista?

I would appreciate either a more in-depth guide than written above or a brand new solution... and links to drivers I need.
[Edit]
I'm pretty sure my Audio Device is actually:
Conexant High Definition Audio-Venice 5045
What do I do to install this properly?
[Edit2]
Here's an image of what my Device Manager looks like:
http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu233/Yusshin/Audio.png
The "Conexant High Definition Audio-Venice 5045" that you see was installed on an Unknown Device that I don't know what the heck was honestly :\ And there are still 2 unknown devices there; I have nothing connected other than a USB Wi-Fi thing for my mouse and my keyboard. In total, there were 3 Unknown Devices; I just randomly selected one to find the ID of my Audio Device.
Please help me; I'm a Gamer and I hate Vista. I don't want to go back to it.
[P.S.] You may notice that I have a Vista skin; I am running XP so do NOT get confused ^^

I noticed this is your first post, a comprehensive post just for asking XP drivers.
Please read XP downgrade guide, part 2, here
Your model, somehow forgot to be listed in part 2, but in general, part 2 should work for your model.
Read the guide so that you knew the advantages/disadvantages installing XP for your model.
About your request, try the following drivers
1.For Intel 965 Express Chipset Family, Here
2.Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221 Driver
Driver modded by silver here
Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
No to connect,
Install from a list or specific location,
Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.
Please post again If you found the mic and external speaker are not working perfectly.
Post it with your Hardware ID.
Pavilion DV2922TX, XP-SP3 32bit, Intel T5750 2.0Ghz, Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS with 128MB, 4GB 667 DDR2, 250GB HDD

Compaq Presario CQ40-106TU Strange noise

hi every HP products owners,
I’ve bought Compaq Presario CQ40-106TU notebook 3 weeks ago, till now, when I play music or movies, every 5~6 minutes I hear a short distorted noise thru earphone or speakers.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled sound driver. I have fully recovered my notebook, but this issue is still persisting.
When it is mute or I don’t play music or movie there is no noise. in case of all kind of music or movies, online, radio, playing by all kind of media player same as windows media player, jet Audio, winamp, i have this problem.
the notebook has a IDT High Definition Audio CODEC sound system. in sound card property it is mentioned that sound system works properly, but this problem really makes me mad.
The noise sometimes interrupts the music for an instant.
What can I do? Is it hardware problem?
I appreciate anykind of help or instructions.

Compaq Presario CQ62 Fan runs constantly, at max speed during X11

I have tried to follow the instructions in the wiki for fancontrol, but lm_sensors doesn't seem to even recongnize the fan.
"sensors" output:http://hastebin.com/gorofawogi.hs
Also, the temperture sensor reading seems to be erroneous, as my laptop is running nothing close to 88°C .
Is there a fix to this? Or does my laptop just not support fancontrol?
Interestingly enough, this issue occured after I cleaned my fan out. Could this be related somehow?

I looked deeper into the wiki, and it seems that cpufreq and lm_tools have not been tested on my model of Compaq. The notion that it does not support fancontrol seems to be ever-looming.

Compaq presario v5000 drivers xp

I recently purchased a Compaq Presario V5000 online. It came with a copy of Windows 7 that was not genuine. I then installed my own copy of XP. I can't seem to find any drivers for this laptop anywhere. Please help.

There are 22 models in the V5000 series. You should have a Service Tag attached to bottom with full model number.
