Hi, you posted this is the Italian language section of this forum.

I believe that you will have a better luck to have somebody answer you into the English language section.

Hi alfetto,

As your machine came pre-installed with Vista I am not sure whether you will be able to get the wireless switch setting utility working under XP.

However with the correct XP wireless LAN drivers the XP operating system can handle your wireless connection without any Sony utility as long as the Microsoft ‘Wireless Zero Configuration’ utility is enabled and started (default startup should be ‘Automatic’). Click Start > Run and type Services.msc in the ‘Open’ dialogue box and click OK to access Services.

As it would seem that there are no XP wireless LAN drivers available for your model I suggest that you try downloading and installing the pre-installed drivers for a model such as the FE31M.

IMPORTANT - You must make sure that this has the same Wireless LAN card as your model – this can be checked via Device Manager.
