    Hi there,

    I really need some help people. I have a sony vaio vgn-nr21S that originaly came with VISTA OS. Yesterday i put xp on it because its better for my school programs and applications. Since the laptop came with VISTA it wont let me install most of the drivers. I managed to install sound but graphics cant be found anywhere. i tried the original drivers from VAIO website (i read somewhere that vaio laptops mostly force their user to get drivers from SONY site) but it said i didnt have VISTA on so it didnt let me install. I also tried to go to manufacter site and install but it didnt recognize the correspondent graphics card on my laptop.

    Any one have a clue on how to get the drivers for my laptop?

    much appreciated

    Easiest way: install Windows 7 or 8 and use the compatibility modes to run your made-for-XP apps. If you really have trouble with a particular application, try Windows 7's XP mode or a virtual machine.
