Sony :: AWx64 Vista & Win7 Drivers And Utilities

May 9, 2009

Driver and Utilites below are from VAIO FTP, US/EU VAIO Support and Intel Download Center. VAIO don't always post the same versions on their EU and US sites and new drivers aren't listed for older models even though they are compatiable. Sony are also slow to make the latest Intel drivers available. All drivers have been extracted to bypass the model version check, usually found on drivers from the US site.

How to Install

Most of the folders only contain the driver and *.inf files. I prefer to install drivers this way to prevent the installation of software I'll never use.

To install extract the archive to a folder, e.g C:drivers.Open Device Manager and right click through each device selecting "Update Driver Software". See pic Install_Step_1.jpgSelect "Browse my computer for driver software". See pic Install_Step_2.jpgBrowse to C:Drivers and make sure "Include subfolders" is checked and click Next. See pic Install_Step_3.jpg

If an updated driver is found it will be installed. Don't worry if an updated driver isn't found. Some devices don't need updates.

Sony :: Vista 32-bit Or Win7 32-bit On FW

May 15, 2009

if I can clean install Vista 32-bit or Win7 32-bit on current FW laptop, such as FW355 or FW378? FW comes pre-installed with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

I want to buy FW, however I am using an application that runs only on 32-bit Windows. If I cannot run 32-bit Windows on FW it is kind of a deal breaker for me.

Sony :: VGN-CR590C! Driver Related (Upgraded From Vista X86 > Win7 X64

Nov 5, 2009

I used to have Vista 32-bit on here and I recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit. The problem is that the Sony website doesn't release Windows 7 64-bit drivers for my model as it is only sold with Vista 32-bit.

[url]

As you can see, there is no drop down menu anywhere to select which operating system I have.

And here:
[url]
it says that Windows 7 is not supported. (I have ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and my computer seemed to check out and pass all the system requirements.)

where all necessary driver updates for my computer are, as many things I've noticed either don't function the same or at all as they used to when I had Vista?

Here's a list of all the problems that I've noticed so far.

- Scroll on touch pad didn't work (Resolved by downloading Synaptics drivers)

- Plugging into the headphone jack didn't do anything (Resolved by downloading Realtek drivers but Windows Update keeps insisting I install their Realtek drivers which brought up the problem again)

- Volume buttons change the volume in very tiny increments and doesn't show the levels on screen (Major issue for me.)

- Doesn't support Dual/Multi Monitors

- Doesn't recognize MIDI Controllers (Resolved. Not sure how.)

- Card reader doesn't work. (Another major problem.)

- Webcam doesn't work. (Built-in mic seems to work fine.)

- "AV Mode" button does nothing (I've never had a use for this button but before it would make the whole screen go black.)

- Can't use the brightness up/down function keys

Sony :: NVidia 9300M GS Win7 X64 Drivers For The VGN-z540

Jan 24, 2010

Has anyone installed Windows 7 x 64 on your VGN-z540 laptop? I tried nvidia's web site, guru3d, sony etc. but I can't can't find drivers that Windows 7 will accept on my 540 laptop. Every other piece of hardware works including the intel video it natively detected. I can't seem to get it to recognize the nvidia driver. The driver won't install from setup. I can manually try to force it by selecting the device, update drivers, select manually but it says it wasn't the right driver even though it is the 64 bit driver for nvidia and it has the 9300m GS listed many many times in the list.

Sony :: Modified LV2Go 190.40 Vista/win7 32Bit Driver For VAIO

Sep 23, 2009

I moddified LV2GO nvidia 190.40 beta driver INF for VAIO notebooks. Vaio Brightness control is full working now.

I modded it for nvidia gf 9300m gs and tested on vaio vgn-cs with win vista 32bit but should be compatible with some of the newer VAIO models.

-h264 hardware GPU-decoding is supporing now (It utilizes only a few percent of the CPU)

Instalation:

1. If you already have an existing nVidia driver installed, uninstall it with its Uninstaller, then use Driver Sweeper to remove any remaining files/registry keys and reboot before you attempt to install this driver.

2. Overwrite the existing nv_disp.inf in 19040_win7x32.exe with my moddified v190.40 INF file.

Download:

My moddified v190.40 INF - here Reuploaded

Sony :: Utilities On Windows 7

Oct 29, 2009

I've installed Windows 7 on my SZ650N and it is working like a charm. Most drivers were automatically installed and now I get everything to work properly.

However, I have one question concerning the original sony utilities that came with vista. Actually, I'm trying to avoid as much as I can to install all of them. So far, I had to install Sony Utils Dll, Shared Library, Setting Utility Series and Event Service to get my FN keys to work.

Now, there are still several "to be installed":

1) Battery Care Function
2) Batery Checker
3) HDD Protection Utility
4) Video Shared library
5) Camera Capture utility
6) Camera Utility
7) Control Center
8) Power Management
9) Status Monitor
10) Hardware Diagnostics

My question is: what do you guys think it is really essential? I don't really want to increase the number of processes running so I can have fancy apps. that I'll almost never use.

Sony :: VGN-TZ90S Vista To XP, Drivers

Jun 27, 2009

I'm trying to downgrade my wife's VGN-TZ90S from its default Vista to XP. I made a separate partition and installed XP then fixed the bootloader so it would load dual boot properly. The problem I'm having is I cant get a lot of the drivers working. For instance the graphics seemed to be straight forward, but none of the seemingly suitable intel gfx drivers work and when it tries to detect the integrated gfx via their website it says it doesn't recognise it.

getting all the hardware working in XP?

Sony :: No Drivers For Vista Ultimate On VGN-CR4000

Apr 10, 2010

I just installed Vista Ultimate on the hard drive partition of my Sony Vaio Notebook (VGN-CR4000). The other partition has Vista Home and is working fine as it came with the original laptop.

I am not able to see any wireless networks to connect to the internet on the Vista Ultimate OS. This is because I do not have the drivers.. right?

I tried to find drivers on the Sony website, but there are none for my model. What can I do?

Sony :: VAIO VGN-SZ483N Drivers For Vista X64

Mar 18, 2009

finding drivers (Vista 64 bit) for my Sony VAIO VGN-SZ483N. I have the original Vista x86 drivers, but as expected most of them does not like to be installed on a Vista x64 O/S.

Is there a site that someone could recommend please, or has someone with an SZ4xx attempted this "upgrade" and is willing to share his/her experiences.

I have tested my gaming machine with x64 against x86 (both Vista) and could say with reasonable confidence that the x64 installation outperforms the x86 installation without a doubt. It would really be good to change the O/S to x64 from the OEM x86.

Sony :: Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Drivers On VGN-SR190

Oct 26, 2009

I own a vgn-SR190. I recently had HD failure, so had to buy new HD and reinstall vista. My original version of Vista was Business 32-bit. I didn't make a recovery disc. So I went out and bought vista ultimate 32-bit. Figured I wouldn't have problems, but I did.

I'm having the driver issues that someone in another thread talked about, when you get the problem with vaio mode switch and the battery issue. I downloaded the drivers for Vista Business, figured it would be the same for Ultimate. But I just read someone's post here that the home premium 32-bit drivers are the same as the ultimate 32-bit drivers. Is that true? if it is, I would just have to download the home premium drivers. I just wanted to know if anybody knows for a fact that the home premium drivers are the same as the ultimate drivers, seeing as the business drivers are obviously different.

Sony :: Complete Set Of Vaio (AW Series) Drivers AND Instructions For Clean Install Of Vista

Jan 17, 2009

THIS IS FOR WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT ONLY

My system is VGN-AW190.

There are already a couple of "guides" floating around that describe how to install a clean copy of Windows on Sony laptops.

The process is fairly simple and involves installing certain Sony software and drivers in particular order (according to Sony).

For FW series, the guide is here: Official Vaio FW Clean Vista Install Guide

When I first installed Windows Vista Ultimate, I had no problems getting everything to work EXCEPT for the following:

1) CompactFlash (JMicron JMB368 ExpressCard CF) driver is not available on Sony's web site. When inserting the card, it does not show up as a drive in Windows Explorer. After some time playing around, I figured the following 2 ways to make it work:

a. Insert your card, go to device manager and click on "scan for hardware changes"
b. Boot Windows while the card is inserted

2) SD card slot works but is not mapped to any drive. While Ricoh MS driver automatically creates a drive, there is no driver on Sony's web site that would do the same for SD slot.

Sony's support is useless to a point where they told me that the reason why my CF cards do not show up and there is no drive mapped to the slot is because the laptop does not support cards larger than 4GB (and I have only 8GB Sandisk cards) What a joke. I finally managed to get a 2nd tier technical guy on the phone who said that Sony does not provide CF drivers and that there is nothing they can do about it..........

HP/Compaq :: HP DV6 Mobo Swapout ->Recovery Vista 32 ->Win7 64

Oct 6, 2009

Would like to get my ducks in a row as to doing this and see if there's some problems i don't know about or better ideas of how to go about it.
Hp Pavilion Dv6 - vista 32bit

1)Have a new mobo on its way,4650 GPU mobo,taking out a 4530 GPU mobo.
As i understand i install the mobo and reboot using the F11 key which will hopefully have the system recognise the new mobo ok & install vista 32 all back to system default OR let me create recovery disc's with the new mobo "tattoo" recognised to do the same.
Correct or not?

2) The FREE upgrade to Win7 cost's $39 to ship to South Africa + waiting time so i'm probably just going to buy a retail copy of Win 7 and install the 64bit version.
Installing that will no doubt reformat the HD removing whatever HP has put there so before i do that should i collect what win7 drivers i can and drop them on a usb drive prior or do you think win7 will be able to load enough drivers to allow me to download drivers once its installed?

3)Is there any things HP have got hidden on the HD that reformatting is going to cause an issue with?

I guessing the recovery partion will get wiped.
