    hi,

    I have a Sony VAIO Z126GG which I need to downgrade to Win 7 32-bit -- there's a program essential for my work that's not compatible with the 64-bit OS.

    my question is: where can I download 32-bit drivers? i've checked Sony's website and there's only 64-bit drivers for my notebook.
    also, after reformatting, the wireless/wired connections aren't working - is this because of reformatting with 32-bit Windows? I assumed they would work out of the box.

    thanks for any help.

    p.s. sorry for the double post, didn't realize I wasn't supposed to post in the owner's lounge threads

    Did you consider dual booting or using XP Mode to run your program?
    If you never you might not have needed to downgrade to a 32bit OS.

    The wifi drivers you can get of the manfacturers website.
