Hello Angelina,
No, you cannot use XP drivers on 7. However, you can use Vista drivers.
Could you please fill in your system specs? http://www.sevenforums.com/general-d...tml#post256049 I recommend Speccy for making things easier.

A clean/custom install is like a new car and not just a paint job. If I am wrong and you did an actual clean install, no harm, I am just trying to help. A clean may even solve some problems.
