I've emailed Sony a few times about this problem only to get their form letter reply telling me in so many words that they can't help me. Nice.
I have a Sony Vaio laptop that was originally equipped with Windows ME. This computer had two partitions so I installed Windows XP Pro on the other partition and installed more memory to handle memory hungry XP.
Everything works just fine with XP. WLAN, internet, applications, all is good. The only problem I have is that I need some software and drivers that I need to use the hardware.
Of those, the most important is to access the BIOS. The BIOS changes the Pentium SpeedStep. This changes the processor speed from 500 to 600mhz. At the moment, it's running at a very gingerly pace of 400.![Frown :( :(](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png)
Any way I can get around the BIOS. I don't see any way of manually entering the BIOS. When it turns on you immediately see the SONY VAIO screen then it goes straight to XP.
I already went to their website and tried to download the drivers and applications to make this work with XP, but that didn't work either.
