Congratulations !! on leaving Vista behind " pat on the back"

Your might have a tricky one here

type "sony vaio support" into google the 3rd link down, not directly from there site

When your on the page find your model number and select XP as the Os but be warned they might not have XP drivers as I know Sony tend to not supply them if the laptop came pre-installed with Vista :(

If this is the case get hold of an Windows XP Live CD, just search in Google as there are loads on the net and then boot with that. Check with your device manager and make a note of the drivers and download.

Once downloaded use a program called NLite to add the drivers to an install disk of Windows XP and then install but again this is not guarenteed.

Then you will have to try the longer way around with the windows XP live cd
Use that check your device manager, take a note of the drivers & download the xp version for that one In particular.

Then use the Nlite,

This is not a cert. we get about 35 machines a week in the shop,

many wanting a downgrade to XP. this is a time consuming process for it not to work.

If you do try! back up everything!

It might be you are stuck with vista, I feal your pain

HI,
The first thing you should do is make or have a backup of your Vista OS.
You will need this incase XP does not work correctly. You could always revert back to Vista. If you fail to do this you may be out of an OS for your computer!

The second thing you have to do is find XP drivers for this machine.
Running Everest under my signature (with Vista installed) will give me a good idea of the hardware you have. Simply using the Device Manager to see what hardware you have may not give us the details I need to find the correct drivers. Everest gives me in more detail the hardware installed on this computer. Please attach the full report.

Once I know what we have for hardware I can then try to compile the drivers for you.

Bill
