I would think the Dell support site would be a good place to start. Check with http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/

Well, I hate to say it but you're probably stuck and you should have checked before you downgraded.

Many chipset manufacturers have not and will not be making retrograde drivers for their newer products. This has been documented in several other forums.

Your only chance would be a painstaking search of the chipsets that are in that PC and see if the chipset manufacturer makes a Windows XP reference driver.

I do not know of a reliable free site that is a repository for drivers.

Most of the work will be in determining what components are in your laptop.
