    Try this -- the guide here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=355715

    You'll need Sony Event Services installed, probably Firmware Extension Parser, also. You can get the drivers for a Vista install, and the extract the install files.

    Probably don't need a driver for the LCD panel.
