Hi luque23 and welcome to Club Vaio.

As far as I am aware, Sony will not be releasing XP Drivers and XP Utilities for the FZ11-Series. They say that the FZ-Series is designed for use with Vista and it will not work properly with XP. They have released downgrade software for the FZ19 business laptop which runs Vista Business - probably because it uses the Intel Graphics and business users have complained.

You should be able to find all the Drivers for XP but you will have to find them individually - have a look at this thread: -

http://club.vaio.sony.co.uk/clubvaio/gb/en/forum/viewthread?thread=44524

The real problem is the Utilities which make the Vaio a Vaio and operate all the special keys, camera, bluetooth etc. Without these the FZ-Series will never really operate in the way it was designed but keep an eye on this forum - some users are getting close to success using the Vista Utilities.

About XP Drivers for FZ series, I think all users of FZ laptops should send a mail to demand XP drivers for all FZ serie...
When you buy the Vaio, Sony doesn't say anything about that Sony only offers Vista drivers, I think is not legal attitude. Sony is forcing all users to use Windows Vista without tell them before they buy the product.
