Surely sony has a website that you can download them off?! Similarly do a seach for individual device drivers. eg intel pro wireless/ blah blah.. (i don't have a sony so don't know what devices they use) EDIT: if you want a good WHQL display driver for video playback (blueray) then go to www.dell.com click on technical support/ drivers/ XPS 1530. they use the 8600GT and 8400GS GFX card like you. so that driver will work with vista fine.

Andrew55 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well try the 177.41(whql) or the 177.66 (non-whql) seeing as you have no other option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew55 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 For example when you click on a driver download page, you will see something like this: http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index....showtopic=19571 Just click and download from the link that says modded inf. Replace the inf in the driver folder with this inf (copy and paste) and your card will be supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew55 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yes, just uninstall the original drivers from device manager and then you should (optional) use driver sweeper to make sure you have completely removed the previous driver. Then install your new driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covert Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Don't forget to start up in safe mode and run driver sweeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
