    I was hoping someone might have some insight into reinstalling English xp onto a Chinese xp Sony C15TP with a dedicated nvidia 7400. Since the recovery materials and drivers are all in Chinese Windows XP versions might there be a workaround so I can retain the vaio features?

    I havent been able to change language versions in XP and the local sony techs say they dont have english drivers for any of there laptops.

    I have been reading the SZ clean installs and even english version on english versions are a pain to retain functions.
    Ive downloaded all the english drivers on sonys website which pertain to this C series as well as made disc copy of the recovery software.

    Hope someone can give me some tips or have tried something along these lines.

    Thanks
