    I have a SZ480. I moved from Vista to XP, installed all the drivers from Sony web site for XP.

    Right now I cant get the video to come out to an external monitor if I were to use the docking station. Also the FN-F7 key combo (to switch monitors) does not work.

    any one else have the same issues ?

    Thanks

    Jay

    Jay, I moved to XP as well, and dont have problems with my dock. FN F7 works for me. I didnt do anything special other than follow the guide put together by Bogart. Good Luck.
