    What is the brand and model of your laptop? You're going to have to check to see if your manufacturer offers XP drivers for WiFi, Audio, and Video. Some new models don't offer drivers for a non-supported OS. Thus, it's possible that since your laptop came with Vista, they won't support XP. However, even if this is the case, there might be some drivers available from other sources.

    You need the HP site then, or google your model number and look for a hardware listing.

    Go here and drill down to your model. It should have the drivers that you're looking for.
