Downgrade VGN-N38E to windows xp sp2

[RobGamble]

Help, I am looking for the correct drivers to enable me to downgrade, wipe my Windows Vista from my Vaio. I have windows XP service pack 2 and everyhting is ok until I try and load the xp drivers. One or more of the drivers I am using is causing the "blue screen of death" and I don't know whether I am using the correct drivers or not.

Is there a specific place to download the complete driver package from Sony to allow me to install the recomended drivers please?

Any other tips from anyone with the same experience would also help.

Thanks in advance.
Bob

Hi Bob - welcome to Club Vaio.

You need the Original Drivers Package and the Original Utilities Package from the nearest model to yours that was released with XP as the Operating System.

A quick look at the specs would indicate that you should use the XP Drivers and Utilities for the VGN-N11S/W which seem to be an exact match. You can download these from here (at the bottom): -

Good Luck and come back if you have any problems.
