themadmax Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Well it seems after looking around I found what I was after. Follow step 4 in this and it works fine - http://forum.noteboo...de-vaio-fz.html I attached the file mentioned in the step to save anyone else the trouble of registering on another forum. 4. Nvidia Verde 306.23 WHQL driver (Vaio FZ, AR, AW, CS & CW) :32-bit driver: http://us.download.n....ional-whql.exe 64-bit driver: http://us.download.n....ional-whql.exe Extract the downloaded driver using 7-zip/ Uniextract. Now download the attached "Nvidia 3xx.xx" zip file (see end of the guide), and extract the appropriate 32/ 64-bit "nvszc" inf file. Copy/ replace the "nvszc" inf file into "Display.Driver" folder of the extracted driver package. Disable any Antivirus software, and run the "setup" in the driver pack. In the Nvidia install screen, choose "Custom Install", uncheck "Nvidia Update", 3D Vision components, check "Physx system software" if you want Physx, HD Audio if you have Nvidia audio device, check "Perform Clean install", and click next to continue. Ignore the Windows security warning to finish installing the driver, and restart as prompted. Nvidia 306.23.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
