Sony Vaio PCG K215S Wireless Problem

Hey forum,

I recently formatted my laptop with Win XP/Pro ( Original O/S was XP Home).

I then went to Sony UK website to download and install all the appropriate drivers & utilities.

All of these drivers have been installed and appear to run very well, however, when I try to enable the Wireless Drivers the whole laptop just freezes at which point I have no other choice other than to force a shut down then boot up in safe-mode before removing these drivers from the device manager.

Is there another way to enable these drivers without it freezing ? I figured that since the drivers came from Sony's own site they'd work no problem. Maybe the drivers are conflicting with the newly installed O/S ( XP Pro).

Maybe there's another set of wireless drivers I can install from another SOny PCG K-Series model ? I'm out of idea's guy's.

I did try installing a wireless adapter which a friend let me borrow to test the wireless card was working Ok, which it did as I was able to install the disk, run and install all drivers etc and the wireless worked fine. I have since removed these drivers from the add/remove programs list.

Please try to help guy's, I cant continue to sit on the stairs with my laptop connected via ethernet to the router much longer.

Regards,

Sid.
