Installing XP on N21E/W

[spwyatt]

Hi - I'm having great trouble finding the right drivers for Win XP on a VGN-N21E/w

It came with Vista Home Premium, but as I don't like Vista and need to join a domain, I installed XP on it. OS runs fine, but I'm missing drivers for Sound, Video, Ethernet, Wirelss, chipset and power managemnent. Some of the Vista drivers seem to install OK and then it says "the device has a problem" and I get the little yellow exclamation mark next to the device.

I've searched the web fruitlessly for XP drivers for this laptop. Do any exist?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

YES! All works nicely. Many thanks for your help.

What are all the other bits and pieces in the Utils folder? Do I need any of them? Vista had a nice little power management icon in the system tray, not sure how to get that back, if indeed its available in XP. But certainly the machine it a lot more sprightly with XP!

I'll maybe go back to Vista after SP1 comes out.....!
