Hi,
I know, I know, don't force unsigned or XP drivers. The fact is that they
often work and may be the only resolution, at least on an interim basis. If
it doesn't work, driver rollback will always allow you to revert.
> 1. Get a Vista driver from the manufacturer
Sony may not have published these yet, and may not until well after the
retail release next January. On the good side, as Sony lists this as a Vista
capable machine, it's a fairly good indicator that they will eventually
release these.
> 2. Install a "compatible" driver from the Vista driver library
As I mentioned in my initial response, Vista may not have the necessary
drivers for the laptop, this is not uncommon due to the proprietary nature
of the machine.
> 3. Purchase Vista ready components instead of the ones that don´t work (in
> case there is no support and you can not wait for support)
Again, this is a laptop, and those components are all internal, so that's
really not an option.
