Downgrading a TZ to XP

[chasincl]

Apologies if this has been asked before but the forum search feature isn't working. I have successfully downgraded my VGN-TZ laptop to XP. However, I now have 3 things missing that I cannot find on the support pages:
1. Recovery Centre
2. VAIO Update
3. Camera Capture utility.
Does anyone know where can I find these 3 utilities?
Thanks

Hi Charlie TZ.

Unfortunately, the price you pay for downgrading to XP is that you lose these three Utilities. None of the three utilities you list will work with a downgrade to XP.

Any change of Operating System means you will have to download updates manually and the only Recovery Option is a Full Recovery to factory settings.

The Recovery Utility and the Vaio Update are not available for download.

The Vaio Camera Capture Utility is a Vista only Utility - you could try and install it by downloading the preinstalled Vista Utility Package for your model and seeing if it will install. Usually in XP you use an XP version of the Vaio Camera Utility which allows you to open the camera utilities through My Computer.
