Had a problem with my Vaio and had to wipe my HDD so have re-installed XP and am starting from scratch again but i'm having trouble locating drivers for audio/video/wi-fi/etc

Can anyone help my problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark and welcome.

Go to the download page for your Vaio here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=en_GB&m=VGN-N11H_W

You will find all the Original Drivers and Utilities under the ORIGINALLY INSTALLED Tab and any subsequent updates will appear under the UPDATES Tab.

Hi Mark,

Download the .zip files of the Original Drivers and Original Utilities to a location where you can find them.
In Windows Explorer, right-click on the .zip file and choose 'Extract All'
Extract to C:\
The Drivers (and Utilities) will be listed in C:\Drivers (C:\Utilities)
Most drivers and all utilities will contain a "SETUP.EXE" file - just double-click on the setup file to install.
Some drivers will not contain a SETUP file but will contain a .INF file - to install these you must go to Device Manager.
In Device Manager, find the uninstalled device (with a yellow !), double-click on it and choose 'Update Driver'. Choose 'No, not this time' -> 'Install from List or Specific Location' -> 'Don't Search, I will choose a driver to install' -> 'Have Disc' and browse to the location of the .INF file.
I think all the updates run and install automatically as long as the original is installed.

Good Luck.
