Hi

I have the AR630E - a very slick laptop. I installed XP on the laptop
by using nLite and including the newest chipset drivers from intel. I have
been able to locate drivers and get most of the devices working.

Unfortunately the sound and camera do not work for me. I have spent a lot
of time fooling around with various realtek and sigmatel drivers trying to
conjure up a working sound system with no success.

Has anyone else gotten the sound to work on the AR630E under XP? If so do
you remember what your recipe was?

You could have accomplished much the same by turning off all of the
Vista eye-candy, and set Classic folders.

Unless Sony has the missing drivers on the site for your notebook, you
are probably screwed. Sony has no interest in downgrading; Sony has not
much interest in upgrading, either.

Actually Sony has been steadily releasing XP downgrade driver sets for all
of their laptops. The latest list includes BX4, BX6, CR1, FZ19, FZ29,
G1, G2, SZ4, SZ5, SZ6, SZ7, TX5, TZ1, and the TZ3 series.

This means that Sony is quietly onboard with those that want to abandon
Vista. In my particular case they have not yet addressed the AR6 series
but I am sure they will get to it.
