Hi,

Has anyone managed to downgrade a VAIO VGN-NR38M to Windows XP? If so can you let me know where the drivers are.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave and welcome.

Sony do not support a downgrade to XP for your model, so there are no XP Drivers and Utilities available.

If I remember correctly, the Drivers and Utilities from the VGN-N11M are the best available. This model was sold with XP installed. Try the Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities from here: -

If the Intel Graphics Driver does not work, you may need to download the correct driver from the Intel website.

Hi Blencogo,

Thanks for the tip which I am afraid to say didn't work for me. The VAIO already had XP on it when I got it because it was causing problems for the owner. I did a new installation to XP SP3 expecting the drivers to be readly available.

I know it can be done, I just need to figure out how.

Any further info would be most welcome

Thanks again

Dave
