Hi ciprinel2006 and welcome.

Bad news. Sony have no plans to develop and release ANY support for Windows XP on the VGN-FZ21 or FZ11 models. No Drivers package and no Utilities package are planned.

By agreement with Microsoft, Sony will only offer support for a downgrade of models sold with Vista Business - Like the VGN-FZ29 and the FZ19 series.

Your FZ21M will never work properly with XP installed. Although you can download most of the drivers you need from the FZ29 downgrade site here: -

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/OS/XPDOWNGRADE/FZ29/

these will not include a nVidia Driver and there are no plans to release any Utilities - so things like the Fn Keys will not work.

Sony consider this a model designed to run on Vista only.
