    Hi,

    I've recently downgraded my Vaio VGN-22G to XP, everything works except the wireless driver, tried all shorts of drivers included sony website for this laptop and still doesn't work. Only thing I see is the yellow mark in device manager and code 10 on it. I mean I can't be the only one that ran into this ?? HOpe someone has a solution for me, if a laptop without wireless is kinda pointless too. I might have to go back to vista...unless someone has solution.

    Peace.

    Try to install drivers manually from device manager, select the device in manager(the yellow marked one), right click - properties- drivers- select upgrade driver, then choose the manual option to install drivers.

    If that does not work go to Intel.com and use the appropriate driver from there.

    Make sure your wireless switch is enabled (if you have one).
