Installing XP Pro on VGN-FE41M

Hi,

I have just recently bought an VGN-FE41M which unfortunalty comes with windows vista. I have been trying to install windows XP pro instead but as yet have not had much luck. I have managed to get most things working using the FE31M drivers but i'm having issues with the grahics.

In vista the grahics are awsome but in xp they are dreadful, is this just something I have to put up with or is there a solution that someone knows about. I have tried various nvidia drivers but none of them will install, just keeps saying that the driver is not suitable for my hardware and exits.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

(The grahics gpu i have is NVidia Geforce Go 7400)

Hi Peter and welcome.

Have a look at this recent thread about installing the latest drivers.
