What I needed to install, though, was the WiFi driver. With the default one, I was getting unpredictable cut offs in connection. Official Intel driver fixed this. Final thoughts: Win7 runs quite fine on my FW21E. Other than that, there are no problems with stability or any other issues.
I don't find the experience too much better than Vista though clean Vista, obviously; the crap from Sony slows things down. The battery lasts approximately for the same time and the responsiveness of the system is also approx. While I do have an FW, I think I will pass for now on upgrading Vista to Windows 7 until it's final release and they've worked out the bugs in the installation process.
But I did install Windows 7 on my older VGN-A, and I gotta tell you, it runs equivalent or faster than XP and is very engaging to interact with and looks really great. Also in the package is an upgrade to IE 8 and thus far, that's pretty interesting as well. So, my suggestion is that people keep an eye on how Windows 7 development evolves and consider it a compelling alternative for both older machines as well as an eventual upgrade from Windows Vista.

Install went smooth. In Vista, the driver is described as MemoryStick0 6. Is there a driver that supports this hardware and where can I download it from? Tuesday, October 27, PM.
You should be able to install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode. This is used to reinstall the operating system in the event of a system crash. To access it, you will need to boot into when you start your computer by pressing a function key. Consult the owners manual that came with your PC for instructions about how to reinstall Windows. If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you should contact the manufacturer of your computer and request a recovery disc set you can use to reinstall Windows 7.
They might charge a small shipping and handling fee. For Advent, restart your computer. If your have wiped out your recovery partition, I suggest you contact Sony support and obtain recovery media:. I downloaded drivers from the dell site because Sony drivers are distributed only as executables, which will only run on the correct hardware, and are incorrectly identifying my hardware as incorrect. If all else fails, I'll order recovery media. I'd like to try other solutions first, though.
