Uncle...seems as long as the OS has a number 7 in it the Sony will cooperate. Messed with it all day and finally ended up loading Win 7x64...I'll most likely go back to Tiny 7 later as it is a bit snappier. :good:

Wonder wut it does if you throw the number 8 at it?

Uh...Homie don't think so. I installed 8 on a bench rig and can't even figure out how to shut down the pc short of pulling the plug lol. :laughing:

lolololololol

Ok - I figured out how to shut it down...installed "ClassicShell" and it becomes slightly more user friendly. I predict this OS will go down in flames faster than Vista for the general public. :thumbdown:

hey man, why do you need XP?

I just like XP because I'm most familiar with it and it runs my tuning software well. I havent tried Win 7 yet, but suspect it will work just fine. Just pisses me off I can't get XP on this laptop. :argh:

Hey! Figured out how to get a proper screen on this monstosity. :laughing:

I put 8 on my grinder, bullet proof so far......

Though drivers would be an issue but no problems thus far

grabbed a start meue though, looking for one with out the advertisments :scared:

One thing I can say about this install is it boots to desktop from a dead start in less than 12 seconds...shutdown in half that time. :thumbsup:

LOL!
