Looking for Compatible Driver for Windows Vista 32-Bit NVIDIA 8400M GT

[MotenaiRonin]

As with anything Sony, I have been twisting my head into a pretzel trying to find the right solution to updating my Graphics Driver for the card above.

I am currently on this version:

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT

Manufacturer: NVIDIA

Chip type: GeForce 8400M GT

Driver Name: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll,nvwgf2um.dll

Driver Version: 8.15.0011.8603 (English)

Driver Attributes: Final Retail

Driver Date/Size: 5/27/2009 17:04:00, 7593472 bytes

WHQL Logo'd: Yes

I would like to update to the latest stable version for my laptop.

Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Premium (6.0, Build 6002) Service Pack 2 (6002.vistasp2_gdr.101014-0432)

Language: English (Regional Setting: English)

System Manufacturer: Sony Corporation

System Model: VGN-AR830E

Could some good samaritan point me in the right way?

P.S.

Currently if I put my laptop to sleep, the screen does not wake up when I press buttons, however the fan and harddrive make a little whir sound to show they are coming back to life. As I suspect, its probably a video driver related problem, hence I am trying to find an update solution. Thoughts on if this has happened to anyone else?

There are special WHQL drivers from Microsoft Update that support many abandoned gfx cards, I am in the same boat as you

=win7x32"]Here are the links to those WHQL drivers, I am using 257.41 because brightness control works

Does your rig run Nvidia PhysX with that driver Rick?
