Sony :: SZ160p Sata 1 Or Sata 2

Mar 9, 2010

Has anyone installed a SSD drive in this model with success? If so, does the BIOS need to be upgraded? I have a Vertex 120 SSD drive I'm not using and am thinking about putting it in the Sony and installing Win 7/32 bit.

I would like for all the current functions to work such as the camera and video card. Would this be a big issue or should I just reload the original OS(XP).

Sony :: Windows 7 X64 (64-bit) On SZ6

Jul 21, 2009

I'm thinking about doing a full clean install of Windows 7 (64-bit) on my SZ6 (SZ680 in my case),

and was wondering whether any of you guys have managed to do so successfully already (getting all hardware to function, as well as the Fn, Brightness keys, etc.

Sony :: VGN-FZ 190 W/ Windows 7 RC 1

May 5, 2009

Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to download Windows 7 RC 1 for a VGN-FZ190 pre-installed with Vista Ultimate? I'm worried about the drivers not being backwards compatible and it was a mistake buying from Sony 2 years ago without realizing they don't have each and every single driver needed for this computer on their website.

Sony :: Windows 7 Pro 64

Mar 28, 2010

I just upgraded from Vista to windows 7 pro 64. I have a Sony Z, but there isn't any driver support for the video card (geforce 9300m gs) from Sony. The computer doesn't seem to even be recognizing there is a graphics card aside from the on board one.

Also, in device manager there is a 'Base System Device' driver isn't installed either. I've gone over this with sony but I keep getting different people and basically telling me to do the same thing

Can you guys play blu ray on Z in speed mode? I can play in stamina fine but not in speed mode. I think it's because the video card driver's not up to date

Sony :: Sz Windows 7 64 Bit

Apr 15, 2009

I just recently installed a 64 bit version of windows 7 on my sz650 and so far everything is working great. Most of the important drivers have already been detected by windows.

The biggest inconvinience I have is that I can't seem to find a touchpad driver for the 64 bit version of windows 7. Th touchpad works fine and I can use it but I cant use the scroll function. I've been looking all over the internet for a compatible driver and it's driving me crazy. i really don't want to go back to vista as I like 7 a lot better. Has anyone gotten the scroll function to work on 64 bit 7? If you have can you please post a link to the driver?

Sony :: SR-190 Windows 7 64 Bit

Nov 8, 2009

unfortunate that sony esupport site gives windows 7 drivers 32 and 64 bit for all SR series except the 100 series.

Has anybody tried installing Windows 7 64 bit on their SR190?

So far I've found this, but it was 32 bit: My Vaio SR190 Windows 7 install experience and walkthrough.

Sony :: Windows 7 On The FS

Jan 11, 2009

The only Windows 7 threads are specific to the Z model, so I thought I would start one.

I installed Windows 7 on my three year old Sony Vaio VGN-FS760/W (1.73GHz Pentium M730, 2GB Ram, 90 GB 4200rpm HDD, NVidia Graphics).

The Windows experience index was 2.0

But surprisingly the OS rocks! - has a 500MB footprint, runs less than 45 processes with clean install , and even aero works without any issues.

features I like - Random Wallpaper changing native to OS. New transparent start bar. More later as I find the tweaks.

Sony :: Windows 7 On TZ

Jan 13, 2009

I have TZ191 N XC. 32GB SSD. It ran Windows Vista Business beautifully (clean install, of course).

Upgrade install of Windows 7 took forever - roughly 2 hours. But, no errors, or hiccups in installation. Boot times seem about the same as Vista - which were pretty quick, but its been a year now, so I'm a little ho-hum lol. Anybody with a clean install notice faster boots?

Other than that, Windows 7 feels pretty much like Vista. I notice very little improvements, or problems. Aesthetically, I wouldn't even call it much different. As I mentioned to someone on a different board, I don't know if I'm "unimpressed" or "still happy". What's the difference with this OS again?

Sony :: Windows 7 On SR

Jan 14, 2009

Just installed Windows 7 on a separate partition of my vaio SR. Things went surprisingly smooth. It picked up many drivers (unlike vista) right off the bat. ATI graphics, wifi, ethernet were all working. For the rest, I (re)installed drivers from esupport site for Vista 32 bit. The only minor problem I ran into was the Intel Chipset driver for which I had to run it in Vista Compatibility mode to install. Has any other SR owner given windows 7 a shot?

Sony :: Z And Windows 7 X64

Feb 24, 2009

I've installed Windows 7 64-bit on my Sony Z12MN today and cant seem to get the drivers to work. I tried downloading 64-bit drivers from Sony's website for their Z690 which is more or less the same but any driver I try to run, I get the message that its not intended for my model and the installation aborts.

Is there any way to extract the files from these Sony drivers and then manually install the driver? I know WinRAR couldnt do it

Sony :: VGN-SZ And Windows 7

Jan 17, 2009

Just installed windows 7 on my vgn-sz650. I have ran into a couple road blocks.

1) I keep getting an error window that says "The installed battery may not be properly connected... ...Click "OK" to enter hibernatemode". I don't get this error with vista. I get the error with the AC plugged in or running off the battery.

2) Can't get the FN keys to work.

Anyone have experience with installing windows 7 on a SZ series?

Sony :: VGN SZ And Windows 7

Nov 17, 2009

After successfully upgrading bios to enable VT, I'm noticing some issues with Win7 and my vgn sz280p. The s1/s2 buttons do not work, the video card switch does not say anything when switched (in vista and xp i get a notice to reboot in order to switch graphics cards), and the FN-F1 to F7 keys do not work properly. FN-F1 does not work, F2-F4 (audio controls) work although nothing shows in the screen and no beep, F5-F7 (contrast and LCD/projector) do not work. FN-F10 and F12 also do not work, even FN-Break (delete).

Anyone here using vgn sz and windows7? How did you resolve the buttons issue? I tried installing the vista drivers but they wouldn't work (most of them).

Also, what upgrades have you guys done to a vgn sz laptop? RAM, CPU? I believe I can upgrade RAM from 2GB to 4GB but not sure if the bios will take it. And I'm not sure if I can switch from core duo to core 2 duo.

Other than these few issues, I believe this vgn sz laptop performs good with windos 7. This 3yr old laptop of mine outperforms my other cheaper laptops that I bought a couple months back.

Sony :: Windows 7 Is Slow

Nov 22, 2009

Updated to windows 7 on my FW and it's definitely slower at booting up than vista. Vista was probably under 50 seconds and

it was fully usable after these 50 seconds. Now, in windows 7 it takes over 2 minutes for it to be fully usable.

Sony :: Windows 7 Install

I have installed Windows 7 Ulitimate on my FZ280. I followed the instructions of ScuderiaConchiglia and the win7 suggestions of Dr Pratik. The instructions seemed to be perfect.

I installed the OS and followed his instructions. Everything seems to work perfectly, including the Fn keys.

But I have found my first issue. I am having problems playing blu ray discs. I have tried Windows Media Player, DivX and Cyberlind PowerDVD to no avail

I'm kinda savvy when it comes to this stuff, but I have hit a wall. I have a Sony VAIO that I would like to run Windows Vista and Windows XP on.

I shrank the main partition on my hard drive and created a new partition of unformatted space to install XP on.

But when I put in the XP CD in and reboot, it says that there are no hard drives on my system

Sony :: CR Webcam And Windows 7

Nov 1, 2009

I just clean installed Win 7 Professional into my sister's Vaio CR220E. Everything are OK except Webcam and Battery.

1. With the Webcam, it seem gone away without any track. There is no device left without driver in Device Manager and no Webcam among of them.
I try to install driver by running the exe file or install.bat but no effective.

2. The battery die already. There is no problem in Vista but in Windows 7,

an alert message said that Battery is wrong plugged or different type and Sony Event Service always force me to hybernate the system and remove then plug the battery again.
