Yes, it worked when I installed ALL of the drivers.

re-download both flashtool and the FTF file and try again

The clue's in the error message - you don't have the required drivers installed.

There's a directory named "drivers" under the main flashtool dir. Run flashtool-drivers.exe and install the appropriate drivers. I think "Common Drivers Viskan Board" is the one you need. I ended up installing all of them to get it to flash (which took ages).

I think I did install that I also installed the other couple of files which included Xperia SP but still no hope.

Install all of them. Takes a while, but that's what I had to do. The guy who wrote the driver pack recommends to do that too if it doesn't work.

Then did it work for you properly?

it wouldn't hurt to install the latest WMP update and JAVA
