Inspiron 1420 xp pro audio and video playback problems

[budjiman1]

Hello,
i have an inspiron 1420 that i switched from vista to xp pro but my audio and video are choppy and distorted and crackling. the only thing i can seem to find out of line is a exclamation point in a yellow circle in my device manager next to modem device on high definition audio bus. can anyone help me? i have tried fixing this myself for literally the past 2 weeks with at the very least 4 hours a day. I did give a valiant effort and i am soooo hoping someone on here can rid me of this headache! Thank you in advance for any help your willing to provide!

You probably need to install the XP-compatible drivers for those devices which have an error in Device Manager. Get the XP drivers here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/uk/en/ukdhs1/Product/inspiron-1420

Don't forget to select "Microsoft Windows XP" before downloading any drivers.
