No, if it was originally a Vista pc, then you will have to search for the drivers online for XP

Your computer probably came with a CD that has drivers on it for Vista. It may also contain drivers for XP as well. If you're using a Dell, the driver disk has both XP and Vista drivers. Otherwise, you could try this: http://www.xp-drivers.com/
