Vista - Downgrading from Vista Home Premium to XP Pro on a Toshiba Laptop

Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100---> T2250 laptop. It has a 1.73GHZ
Processor with 1 Gb of ram. It also has a 120 GB Hard Drive. It originally
came with windows vista home premium so I decided to downgrade to windows xp
pro. Now when it is in xp, the power options such as standby and hibernate
are gone. Does anyone know how can I re-enable these options on windows xp
pro?
Please let me know asap.

Thanks,

You'll have to visit the Toshiba support web site and download
Windows XP compatible video display adapter drivers (if available)
designed for your specific Toshiba model laptop computer.

Did you install the Toshiba Windows XP display driver
or are you using the generic display driver installed
initially during the Windows XP installation?

You'll find a bunch of people over in the LAPTOP COMPUTING Forum on
Compuserve who really know Toshiba laptops -- Toshiba used to run it
but they gave up but still refer people to it on their website and in
manuals!

I did install the driver right from the toshiba website.

Contact Toshiba to acquire WinXP-specific device drivers and utilities,
if any exist. They probably won't if the laptop was originally designed
for Vista. (And Toshiba may not give you any support, as you've removed
Vista.)

I didn't completely remove vista I just installed XP on the 2nd partition. I
managed to get it to work. What I did is I reinstalled the display drivers
for the third time and it finally worked. Now I have a problem when I play
any game. I dont get this problem on vista because I tried the games in
vista, then in xp. The problem is when I load the game, it gives me the
following critical error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No Label

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 1728 MHz with 1013MB RAM
Video: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU Express Chipset Family (4820)

Negative delta time!

History: UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another time I tried it I got this error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No Label

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ -164 MHz with 1013MB RAM
Video: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM/GU Express Chipset Family (4820)

Negative delta time!

History: UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems like the CPU speed changes in each of the errors.
Does anyone know what the errors are caused from and how I can fix it?
I have all the up to date programs installed such as direct x.
Let me know what you are supposed to do to fix this error.
Thanks
