    I have had Parkinson’s for the last few years its slowly getting worse I use my computer for the only entertainment I have.
    My dear relations and friends local to my home in the UK clubbed together and bought me a Sony FW series with blue-ray and all the mod cons. This is were the problem I have started, it came with Vista loaded, now as nearly all my personal programs are XP I have lost the use of a computer.
    Whilst I am over the moon with the laptop and its features I have this problem of
    Not being able to use most of my programs, which are not made to accept Vista.
    What I want to do is get the machine converted to XP.
    I have a friend who will carry out the work for me but I need help to acquire Drivers & Soft wear for the conversion, I have tried to get in touch with Sony but can find no contact to ask them if they could supply the necessary soft wear, which I’m sure they would if I can make contact with them.
    I am asking for help from someone who might have the knowledge as to how and where I can purchase the drivers & soft wear I need . I have purchased a new XP
    Professional that was fairly easy
