Sony :: Drivers For Japanese Z
Feb 19, 2009
I wanted to reinstall my VGN-Z90US, so as for preparation I was planning to download latest drivers, as it's easily possible from the US page. But what a surprice, on the Japanese page it's written that it's not possible and I'll find the drivers on recovery discs and C:WindowsDrivers only...which are outdated of course.
So the question is, does anybody know the source for latest drivers for Japanese Z...FTP or anything? Or should I try to use the ones from US site?

new Vaio Z directly from Japanese SonyStyle. But I still have few questions about CTO:
1. Why can't I choose both WiMax and WWAN at the same time? Z comes with Intel 6250 card and dedicated 3G modem in Europe, is Japanese version different in this regard? Will it have USB in miniPCI-E slot for 6200 card if ordered without WiMax but with 3G?
2. I can't find pictures showing all keyboards available... I'm interested in backlight version with keys layout as close to US as possible.

Recently I have upgraded to Win7Pro x64 EN on my Z90US, everything work like a charm except for the keyboard.
I got Japanese keyboard and even though I have installed the Japanese keyboard and IME in Win7, the layout doesn't match.
The Japanese specific keys don't work (e.g. kanji switch) and also the Shift+key is different. E.g. when I want to write &, than ^ comes out.

I had a copy of BIOS R0083N0 that I was about to flash my SZ with, but after deciding to take the plunge after a month of diliberation, it gives the informative error message: WBFLASH - Cannot read the system information.
I have spent this evening trying to find a copy of it from Sony's website but it has remained elusive. The URL I have is [url] and I thought that there was a link from there. Unfortunatly, Bablefish refuses to translate the URL nor the text when copied and pasted into it:- This might be a problem with my laptop and not Bablefish.
The question:
Where can I get a copy of the latest BIOS for the Vaio SZ90?
(Or SZ91 92 93 94 or 95 because I expect that these BIOSes will all work)
This BIOS is meant to address amoung other things:
CPU Control becoming unstable
The CPU workload reported in the Windows Task Manager is inaccurate.

I bought a new Mac just yesterday (my first time to switch from PC) believing that the East Asian Support in Macs will be equally if not better in OS X than Windows (given that Japan is a huge market for Macs and also that you can even order a Japanese keyboard when purchasing your computer). To my horror, however, I am now realizing that there's a feature where Windows outpeforms OS X, or what OS Xi is totally lacking;
IME Pad - i.e. in Windows when you switch to Japanese language keyboard you have an option to use your mouse to draw a kanji you are not familiar with (don't know its reading). You'll get a lit of options and can find thus a kanji extremely fast - no need for radical or stoke look-up. I've heard that OS X doesn't have this function - at least not 10.5. If that's true this would be a major drawback!
the only solution to this would be to use an internet interface such as this:
Handwritten kanji search at sljfaq.org
But this is way too cumbersome and requires internet access.
how to use Japanese on Macs can respond.

We have a Latitude E6330 that was brought over from Japan running Windows 7 Professional.
The new user wanted teh default language to be English but still be able to use the Japanese characters on the keyboard as needed and so a copy of Windows 7 ultimate was installed on it. This achieved the goal of changing the primary language to English, but due to the fact that this was a US version of Ultimate and the original OS was Japanese, it did not due an upgrade but instead did a new install.
A side effect of this is now several Japanese keys are not recognized by the computer. Is there a driver or something that i will need to install for those keys to be mapped properly? I thought Windows would automatically recognize the Japanese keyboard.

My recently new purchased FW 490 JFT comes with ATI's Mobility 4650 1GB GPU.
I installed all the "latest" drivers from Sony however the ATI drivers they offer are version 8.5. The latest drivers out on ATI's website are now 9.7
Will Sony ever update their drivers? How can I get this card updated to the newest drivers? I already tried Mobility Modder and they don't support 4650 series..

It seems that Sony is updating their FTP with Win 7 drivers. Some drivers are Alps touchpad(Win 7/Vista 64-bit), Nvidia 186.56(Win 7/ Vista 64-bit), Intel chipset,
SATA driver, etc.
Link : ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/ORIGINAL/
(Look for the most recent dated drivers)

I am wondering what will be with drivers when Windows 7 will be available. Now when I go to Sony website and try download drivers and utilities factory installed with my Vaio TT21 XN/B it is not available. Only one way of reinstallation is recovery partition (or DVD's) or semi clean install. But question is how to install Windows 7 when it will be available without drivers? When Microsoft will lunch W7 I am going to upgrade but how I will can do that?

how often Sony upgrades their drivers?
I'm sitting with a SZ71 and nVidia driver from 2007.
I got some graphics issues and wouldn't mind to upgrade the drivers.

Newer Z series models seem to have drivers available for download, but what about us with Z11's (VGN-Z11WN/B to be precise)?
I'd like to install Windows 7 (64 bit) on my Z, but it makes it a bit tricky if I can't obtain the drivers

IIt seems than Windows 7 brings many drivers, that works well - no need for installing all Software, which are suggestet here:
Vista Business 64 Bit Drivers for Vaio Z
Vista Business 64 Bit Drivers for Vaio Z
My first challange was to get Dualboot WinXP, and Win7x64 to work.
Short solution for the EFI GDT Problem
//Edit: see VGN-Z Windows 7 x64 Drivers for a better way (with advanced Menu)
(only needed for x64, if you doesnt want to format your disk)
Create 3 folders c:efi-iso c:efi-exe c:efi-dvd
Download oscdimg.exe from [url] into c:efi-exe
Extract iso using 7Zip or WinRAR (Or copy the contents of the DVD) into c:efi-dvd
Start up a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
Type: cd c:efi-exe.............

My computer froze recently and something failed on windows so I decided to reload Vista again. Unfortunately, I didn't have the recovery discs on me so I bought a copy of Vista Ultimate from my university. After installing though, none of my shortcut or "FN" buttons work and the wireless doesn't work either. The esupport website doesn't have any drivers available and the only option I have is to buy the discs from Sony directly. Does anybody know how I can the drivers? Can I download a different set of drivers from FW with vista ultimate?

I checked the sony site for x64 drivers and it seems that my PC can now have x64 drivers. My question is, why are there so few drivers on that page. There are no video drivers at all. Will vista find the correct drivers for the video and all the other pieces of hardware.
Here is the link to the drivers:

My friend has a pink Sony PCG-5J2L that originally came with Vista but we all can almost agree Vista is a dread.
She downgraded or what I consider an upgrade to XP; however. There are some driver issues such as the video and network.
Anyone got any luck on downgrading/upgrading to Windows XP on this?
It seems the video, display functions, ethernet drivers are the main issues.
