Default Issues installing XP drivers on Vista laptop

My cousin bought an Acer laptop with Windows Vista on it. He wanted me to put XP on it, so we bought Windows XP and I installed it for him. I'm having some serious issues now trying to get the drivers to install. I've downloaded all the XP drivers and installed them. The chipset and video drivers were recognized but the webcam, lan driver, wireless ethernet driver, and audio drivers won't get recognized by the OS. I don't understand what's going on and I'm not sure what to do. Is it possible that XP drivers won't work with the hardware. There is a Vista sticker on the laptop. It's an ACER 5720.
