Vista upgrade

I have upgraded XP to Vista on a Dell. I am missing all sorts of drivers. Is
there a place to find drivers for Vista? Is there a way to uninstall Vista if
I cannot?

This normally the type of question that one asks _before_ starting an
upgrade. You'll have to get the proper device drivers either from
Dell's support web site, or from the manufacturer of each individual
component (NIC, audio controller, video adapter, motherboard, etc.).

win update will have a few drivers i guess ..you cant uninstall vista
now..you have to reboot from cd and install xp again..i guess..but you
should be able to get the drivers just check what you need in device
manager..graphics and cpu drivers and network drivers if your using a
router with ethernet cable windows update should have. i might be
wrong..so others can advice you better.
