Hi Erik The XP drivers are here [URL] so there should not be a problem with XP on your 1720 . Good Luck
Hay all! I searched for this topic, and didn't come up with what I was looking for, so before I go out and buy... I want to "fire" Vista, and install the Pro version of XP.  I then want to "kick vista out" of my system.  Is this possible for an Inspiron 1720?   Erik.
