HELP! XP Drivers for VGN-FE41S - Where do I get these?

[forwardvision]

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FE41S. It came with Vista pre-installed. My hard disk crashed & as I had no Recovery disk I decided to install XP on it instead - I prefer XP anyway.

Well, when I came to download the drivers from the Sony website, it said that they are for Vista. So I have two questions:

1) Can I use these on an XP set up (I'm guessing the answer is probably, "No."

2) Where can I get the XP equivalent Drivers?

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason.

Welcome to Club Vaio.

You are right - the Vista drivers and utilities will not work!

Your Vaio is identical to the FE31Z which was sold with XP installed.

Just download and install the Original Drivers Package and the Original Utilities Package for the VGN-FE31Z from here: -

When you have installed these, you may also want to install all the available software updates for XP also from the FE31Z update site here: -
