    Hi

    I just brought a TZ25L here in Korea.

    It's a TZ with a celeron M, 1 gig RAM and an 80 gig HDD.

    I've been reading with interest about the people that are changing the pricejapan.com TZ's to English, and I have one question:

    My 25L has a folder in the windows directory that is called 'drivers'. It's 132 mb big. I guess that is all the drivers for the machine.

    Do you think they will work with English vista, or will I need to get the European / American drivers?

    Thanks

    P.S I have vista ultimate, the machine has home premium. Will that have any relevance?

    Well, disappointingly, no one helped me!

    But I got it all sorted and have the answers so I will leave them here to hopefully help someone else in the future.

    Yes the drivers bundled with the TZ25L work. I integrated them into vlite [which is an awesome program] and installed vista ultimate with no problems.

    I then got the ' library' and ' utilities' files for the TZ160c canadian version and changed the model.txt file in order to install them, as described on these forums.

    Everything works 100%.

    I'd just like to add, f**k you Sony Korea, you are as helpful as tits on a bull :)
