anyone can give me a hand on install drivers for winxp?

I have a Compaq CQ40-401AU. Now when I try to install the graphics card drivers, it keeps prompting me "Failed to initialize Catalyst installer" and then after that it will show something about graphic card not found/supported.

I've search through the whole internet for driver packs, but none of them seem to work(sp41456,sp39764,9-4_xp32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu).

I checked the device hardware id and it matches the one in the inf, but it still doesnt install. Any ideas?

Try go hp compaq website check for the driver, i feel alot ppl facing trouble on install XP or vista on CQ40.

the only issue here is that they dont officially support windows xp which is a pain in the ass. I have Vista on this laptop, but for certain programs I still need winxp and vmware is not a solution for me.
