    Hello, Im new to the forum so hello to everyone first. I hope I can help other people with doubts.

    My problem is that I bought a VAIO laptop (VGN-FW31M) and it came with windows vista. So I formated it and installed Windows XP PRO SP·3.
    (I had the common SATA driver problem but I managed to solve it).

    The problem comes when I try to install any driver, even the CHIPSET driver.
    I get a message saying:

    "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software. Setup will exit"

    I got all the drivers from the sony official site.

    I really dont have a clue what to do, any help will be appreciated.

    Thanx in advice.
