Hello,
I have a Sony Vaio laptop, which came with Vista. I didn't like vista much, so just downgraded it to XP last night. I thought everything went alright, until i tried to find an internet connection. I have a wireless internet connection at home, which worked fine with vista. now when i tried to find the existing wireless signal, i can't. Could someone help me figure out how i can connect to my wireless internet again?
thanks a lot for your help in advance!!

You will need to download Win XP drivers from SONY for the wireless card. I would also think you would need to update ALL other drivers also. Good Luck - many people report that their manufacturer does not supply WIN XP drivers for the newer laptops.
