ok, i have a clients laptop that i fresh installed Win XP on, everything
runs great, except........ if it is being posted there's always an except.

except that the video best not display photos well, they have sort of a
glared out look. XP loaded all the drivers, which is good HP/Compaq doesn't
show any for XP.

laptop is : Compaq Presario 14XL244 Notebook PC with 320 RAM, yes 8 of that
goes to the video.

seems like a driver problem to me, hoped someone might have some input.

I emailed HP/Compaq already and await a reply, but all input welcome.

I can't imagine that this system will run XP very well. And, with only 8MB
of (shared) VRAM, it isn't going to render very well at all. However, have
you tried the "Set Video Utility" listed on Compaq's website? Or, perhaps,
tried to talk the client into loading Windows 98 or ME as opposed to XP?
