    Hi

    I wanted to downgrade my operating system for my Sony VGN-N320E laptop. I installed XP and was caught up in a lot of mess finding drivers. I tried a lot of random ones for other models (some that i found a link to from this forum) and got most of the things working.

    However, the Power Management still isnt working right. I do not get any hibernate option and my laptop stays on all the time (even if i shut the lid down). Can someone please suggest me the drivers / power management application compatible for my laptop model for XP (needless to say, sony support refused to say anything about supporting XP).

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks
