    I have a Sony VAIO NS110E laptop that I would like to downgrade to Windows XP.

    The video chipset is just plain to slow for Windows Vista (for my liking) so I would like to move to Windows XP. (Hopefully it will be better).

    I tried to search for anyone that has done a guide for this model or series, but there is virtually nothing for the NS series on these forums.

    Everytime I put Windows XP on the laptop, I can not connect to any wireless network. No matter what I try.

    Has anyone had any luck with this model? Does anyone even have this model? lol

    Thanks for the link to the drivers, but the same problem exists.

    I can not connect to any wireless network, yet the system I am typing on now works flawlessly on the network.

    It is a really odd problem. I might as well give up, as Sony on the phone is no help either.

    The drivers from the website install just fine, but half of them don't give any functionality. The FN keys don't work either.

    Back to Vista I guess....
