    I have a Sony Vaio SZ360P running Windows XP with the fingerprint reader and Protector Suite QL software installed. I have version 5.2 of this software currently, but it doesn't support any recent web browsers so I need to upgrade to version 5.6 for XP. I know this upgrade exists somewhere because I stumbled upon it a few months ago and was able to successfully install v.5.6 on my laptop, which supports the newest version of Firefox. Unfortunately, my computer crashed - Sony reinstalled XP and all the standard software for me, but I'm stuck back with v.5.2 of the Protector Suite QL software now.

    Does anyone know where I can find the download for v.5.6 for XP? All I was able to find is a v.5.6 for Vista (that's what's on the Sony esupport website). Any assistance is much appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply, but sadly I already tried that link. It looked very promising when I found it, but when I tried to install, it said that it was only for Vista and would not proceed with the installation. I think the update is for people who upgraded their laptops to Vista and need a Vista-compatible version of Protector Suite QL. I have been unable to find the upgrade to version 5.6 that's meant for people who are still running XP. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks a bunch!
