Does anyone have this laptop?

Hi, does anyone have a Sony Vaio TZ31WN/B laptop?

I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and i am having some problems setting up XP on it. If it needs so, i will pay someone to help me out here via paypal... please please can someone help or let me know where i could find other users (othe sony vaio forums) on the net... thanks in advance

 

Hi, you don't need to pay for something what you can get for free:

Utillities and drivers for TZ3 with disc

Utilities and drivers for TZ3 without disc.

I don't really understand, why do you start a second thread for this same issue.

 

Wow, thanks for your help, sorry i posted a second thread because i am willing to pay someone.. but you have been very kind, thanks.

Just a few quick questions:

1. What is the difference in the two sets of drivers (with or without disc)
2. I am missing two drivers fingerprint driver and PCI Device... Do you know if it is possible to get these or is it even possible to get the fingerprint sensor to work on XP

 

1. with disc = WXP installation from VAIO Downgrade Disc, without = WXP installation from any MS WXP disc.

2. Fingerprint Driver. What PCI device do you mean exactly?
It is possible to use FP on XP: you need FP driver and the UPEK's FP software

 

Thanks a million... you wouldn't believe how happy i am. The PCI Device was actually the modem. When i downloaded the files via your link, i noticed that there was an extra folder in the audio driver called 1 which seemed to be some sort of windows update. I installed it and then that allowed me to install the any missing drivers.

Thanks so much for all of your help, thanks again...

 

All's well that ends well. It was a great pleasure to help you.
