Default compaqs challenge to Microsoft

I installed full retail XP Pro after suffering compaq OEM nightmares.

I downloaded from the manufacturer their xp driver for the nvidia riva
tnt2 card that came with the computer. The compaq computer after log
on warms me of severe consequences using this manufacter's xp pro
driver.

I emailed Compaq for the location on their driver database the driver
for this card. I only wanted a clean running o.s. Here's their
response:

Dear Compaq Customer,

I understand that after upgrading the operating system to Windows XP
Pro, you are experiencing a problem with the video driver. Installing
a
retail version of Windows XP Pro operating system will lead to issues
pertaining to incompatible device drivers. Therefore, we do not
recommend our customers to install a retail version of Windows XP in
Presario computers.

Look for a Windows XP or Windows 2000 driver at HP's website for your
particular model of notebook. If there is one, use that. If not, try the
nVidia one.
