    The Sony Vaio Fe880 is designed use with the Vista* Operating System. As you may be able to revert or in your case install WinXP Home/Pro, driver support will be hard to find. This is because the Hardware in your laptop does not have backwards compatibilty with WinXP because the software doesn't have support for earlier Windows Editions included in the release.

    Vista*: all releases except "basic"
