My friend has a sony vaio which is pretty old compared to today's laptops. It is 700mhz w/128mb memory installed and a 10gb. Anyways, he had a lot of software problems nd he asked me if i could format it for him and reinstall windows. His laptop came with winME when he bought it 2-3 years ago and he stil has all the CD's that came with it .
I went ahead and installed winXP.( i know 128mb sucks for xp) and everyhting worked fine . Progs and applications load foaster...
The only problem i have is making his pci built in modem to work. WinXP can not find the drivers. I tried to install the drivers manually from the sony cd's that came with his laptop but not luck. His modem is like it is not there.
My other guess is to try and locate the drivers myself on Sony's website , save them on a disk and give it one more try.
Any other tips?
