With big brand-name computers such as those from Compaq the hardware inside it is often customised with special features made specially for the PC manufacturer. The result of this is that the drivers also have to be customised, so they are supplied to the end-user by the PC manufacturer (via their website). Drivers available elsewhere (such as directly from the device manufacturer) won't work with Compaq-customised hardware.
Unless the Compaq website has made XP drivers available for your PC you are going to struggle to get the hardware to work, since they (Compaq) usually only offer support for the operating system that was pre-installed when you bought it new.
You may have to purchase and fit your own graphics card to replace the current customised one in order to get round the driver incompatibilty issue.
