    I, ve got VGN-CR19VN.
    Standard version of system is Vista business German language edition.
    I changed the system on Polish language version of Vista or XP.
    But after changing, does not work InstantON mode.
    In original utilities on vaio website there is no WinDVD to install.

    Please help how to run InstantON, Where could i download it?

    instant on will not work with the CR after XP installation. Contact sony, i think they'll also tell you that the drivers have not be created/released for the XP.

    as long as you download all the vista drivers from the vaio support site, it should work just fine.

    i dont think the drivers are very language specific.

    I know, but the main problem is that there is no WinDVD or InstantOn software to download from vaio site.

    oh yes you're right. there's not much that can be done with that since that software is packaged with the original installaton files. unless you can access and extract those files from the original vaio partition or backup dvd's, then im not sure what you can do. I would suggest contacting vaio support by live chat, e-mail or phone.
