sved Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 (edited) Hello everybody, I'm a bit lost in the website, is there any driver for the 8400M GT for Vista Home Premium (...) out yet ? It is impossible to find some, neither on sony's website nor nvidia's one ... Any help is welcome ! (and by the way, congrats for the website, it's very complete and tutorials are weel done : I understood ^^) Edited June 29, 2007 by sved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fivelo Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Snap - I have just purchased an FZ11M - loving it so far! My problem: installed Vista Ultimate after taking it out of the box, then realised there were no driver CDs :) Even more annoyed to find you can't get them from the Sony site (same deal for BlueTooth, Motion Eye, WiFi, sound etc....) At least sound & wifi are supported with the generics. If anyone has copies of / links to webcam or BT drivers PLEASE let me know! Anyway, not too sure as far as 64-bit goes but I am successfully using the 8400M GS drivers (make sure you go for the vista drivers, tried the XP ones and it doesn't like them!) Able to run WoW, EVE Online, CS:S etc. very very well , high gfx settings and naturally at our native 1280x800 - going to give halo 2 a shot shortly. Good luck man!

Guest Alex Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hi Everyone, did you have some luck with the drivers? My computer is working quite well, so i dont want to try unless im sure i wont have problems... Thx, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fivelo Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 The GS drivers are working great for me, I was only looking as I cleaned the laptop off and installed vista ultimate - before realising there were no driver CDs :) If you have the standard install that came with the laptop I wouldn't recommend changing until the appropriate updates are out (unless your 3D performance is abismal...)

Guest TJMaxxx Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Actually, you can find the 8400M GT Drivers on the Sony Website. However, it's only for the 32-bit version (most likely, this is your case). I'm looking for the 64-bit version of 8400M GT. Anyone know where I can find it? I've spent hours looking for it.

Fivelo Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I've raised a support call with Sony, they are now looking at having the drivers uploaded on Monday! Fingers are crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fivelo Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Quick update, the link I put in last post seems to support the GT as the GT Good stuff :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mke Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the driver you directed me to, but when I ran Setup.exe, the Installshield loaded, but it said it couldn't detect any hardware the driver was compatible with.

You need to download the following: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/155se...15615_vista.exe http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/infs/155seri..._vista/nvfi.inf Follow this guide: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=11997 You may need to select your card manually...

dave_lf Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) That one is definitely an improvement. The most visible change is that my World of Warcraft framerates now (usually) degrade gracefully in busy scenes instead of becoming jerky and irregular as soon as they fall below 60. Also, the flat panel scaling options are no longer grayed out when the screen resolution is set to its maximum and my settings actually persist between sessions.

Fivelo Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I've noticed too, good stuff :) Had an update from sony today, apparently the stock drivers (webcam, bluetooth etc.) should be on vaio link by the end of the night - sweet!
