    Hi,

    Starting to get hacked off with Vista and from what I've read, installing XP should have my TZ running as good as it looks. So, I searched this site for a "how to" guide and the best one I could find seems to be:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=183695

    Posted by DanyBui81, this looks like the only comprehensive guide since Sony posted official XP utilities and drives on their support page.

    I have a TZ91S (a Japanese part number) that I got from Conics, which means it isn't specifically featured on the Sony support webpages - at least the ones I can read &/or understand!

    The model I have has a 64GB SSD, DVD, 2GB RAM and a 1.2GHz chip, all of which sounds similar to the TZ95N (US model) - with the exception that this model has a 1.33GHz processor.

    So my question is: Should I install the drivers for this model/ another model or doesn't it really matter??

    Thanks for the advice
