    Hello,

    IT IS SO CRAZY... I needed downgrade my FW11E to XP. I had to find all drivers to myself and now when I need Win 7 I have to find all drivers by myself again.
    Sony no more :mad:

    Is there anyone who has collected drivers for Win 7 please?

    thanks you very much

    Select your country and then the laptop model, then click on "Download" tab, then you'll get windows 7 drivers....so easy! :D
