    Hi everyone, I've got a Sony Vaio PCG-GRT715M and have recently had to reformat it. I've reinstalled Windows XP and that's all fine but need the drivers.

    Have been googling like mad trying to find them online but to no avail :( so am looking to you guys for some much needed help! The official Sony site only seems to have drivers for USA and Canada and cos I'm in the UK they don't work.

    These are the drivers that I need:
    MM Audio Controller
    PCI Modem
    USB 2.0 WLAN
    Video Controller (VGA Compatible)

    Any help at all would be much appreciated as I'm completely stuck and can't connect to the Internet or watch films or anything on it :(

    Thanks in advance xx

    What happens when you try the drivers from the US site?

    It says "this update is not intended for use with your computer model," tried several which all started with PCG-GRT but all said same thing

    Done! Silly mistake of putting UK in the google search rather than Europe. For anyone searching the forum with similar problems the European drivers are here:

    VAIO : Sony Europe

    You can select 'models from before 2005' as well as more modern ones. They all seem to work fine.

    Thanks for your help anyway ota-con :)
