I have a HP Pavilion DV9500z with Vista Home Premium 32bit. I decided to dual boot Vista/XP. My only problem is that I can't seem to find the video card drivers for my computer for XP. I searched HP's site and they don't have it. Please help.

Yeah, I looked on HP's site. I have the video card drivers for Vista but I'm looking for the drivers for XP. If anyone could help that would be great. I talked with HP tech support and they said they dont have them, which doesn't make any sense because when I ordered my computer you could choose XP instead of Vista.

You can find XP drivers (modded to work with just about every Nvidia laptop video card) here,

Awesome that looks like a good website. I looked in device manager at the video adapter and it says its MCP67M. How do I know which Nvidia card that is so I can get the right driver?

That number is the chipset/northbridge model number, not the video card number. From what I can see your laptop has the 8400M GS video card on it.
As far as which driver to download from that site, just go for the latest one as it will (or at least should) already have a modded INF in it allowing the driver to be installed on any Nvidia laptop video card.
More info from them as to what a modded INF is,
