I just installed Windows XP on my MBP (2011, Snow Leopard)

Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the Internet, use the F# buttons, or anything Mac related. So I think the Mac Drivers did not install over.

The problem is that the osX install disc does not support XP, only Windows 7.

I do not have Windows 7 Disc, and do not have the money to buy it. Unless you have access to a free download of Windows 7 to share, please do not suggest Windows 7.

I can't even connect to the Internet on the XP side, Wireless or Wired.

Help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Additional:
I tried to install the Bootcamp 2.2 Update on Apple's Site. It ran, but said I needed a previous version to Upgrade. So I tried 2.1 (File name BCUpdateXP.exe). When I click this *On XP side* (Saved on my Flashdrive), absolutely nothing happens. No download box, not even an error code. Nothing.
