New Dell 640m - many drivers problem

I just bought a Dell 640m but I do not like the preloaded Vista. I reformatted the disk and installed Windows XP. For whatever reason, the CD that comes with my laptop does not come with all the drivers. I went to Dell's website, but still did not find all the drivers needed. Now my computer is lacking network controller driver (thus, it cannot even connect to internet), wireless driver, sound, video.... What should I do?

Here are some screen shots:

Jesus H Christ. That's why I EDIT: hate prebuilds. Anyhow, you could try using a different computer to go to the different parts manufacturers websites and download seperate drivers. Or download the network controller's drivers, and then go to http://update.microsoft.com where you might be able to download and install all your other drivers automatically.

dell hascomprehensive lists, go through the menu's they should have everything listed under the correct headings, tech support will walk you through it if anything.
