    It's technically not a driver that you are missing. In my signature line below is a link to a thread here on how to do a clean install of Vista on an FZ190 model (and others in the FZ series). It is VERY important that you install things in the proper order. But you will need more than just a copy of Vista. You need certain drivers and application bits from various sources, some are on the Restore DVD set that Sony suggests you make as soon as you get the machine, other bits come from the esupport.sony.com web site. But my tutorial explains all of that in detail.

    First though, do you have the two DVD recovery set that Sony has you make? If not, do you still have the hidden recovery partition on your hard drive? You are going to need the DVD recovery set.
