    I have some legacy XP drivers for some game demos that need drivers for old XBox controllers.

    Rather than going back to XP, does anyone know a work around?

    Thanks,

    I haven't been able to prybar any XP drivers yet, either. But as an alternative, you could load XP on a virtual machine like VMWare or Virtualbox, which is free.

    No its nothing like dual boot. Its an application, so its like opening a browser, except you'll open windows xp in a window. You can continue to work in vista application as well as xp apps in virtual machine.
