installing wlan driver on vgn fs285e

[WDoornaert]

I am donating my old vaio VGN FS285E to my mother. I formatted the laptop with an old windows xp sp3 I had and am now installing only the basic drivers. The laptop is now working quick again but I can not succesfully install the w-lan driver. I need to install this one because the wifi is the main reason my mother wants to use the laptop. Can anyone help me please.

Hi WDoornaert and welcome.

Which driver are you trying to install?

The wireless drivers can be found on the Downloads Page for your model here: -

The original wireless driver can be found under 'Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities' and I see there are updates for the Wireless LAN Starter and the Wireless LAN Driver under the 'Latest Downloads' -> Windows XP section.
