What the driver with the same name but CPRM suffix does? No idea and Sony fail to let us know. This changed the name in the Device Manager to “Ricoh SD Host Controller” and it worked. You have to manually in the Device Manager update the drive. Sony – Fail! But after reboot it seemed to work. But beware, when I installed it the screen went black so I had to force it off by holding the power button. This removed the Warning on “Standard VGA Graphics Adapter” and replaced it with a “NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS” and Windows Experience Index went up to 4,3. Then, I downloaded the following from their website. I installed the Intel one but it didn’t make much difference in Device Manager nor Windows Experience Index which was at 3,4: Windows Update had some Optional Updates:
Then I ran Windows Update (on 2nd Jan 2012, made it reboot 4-5 times) and from there only the following had warning signs:
#Sony vaio vgn drivers install#
So what I did was to install from DVD (Windows 7 圆4 with SP1) and took it from there to get everything working… From there I had the following in Device Manager not working: But some other states F1 or DEL which might apply to other VAIO models.
#Sony vaio vgn drivers how to#
Oh and have you wondered how to get into BIOS on a Sony VAIO? On this model it was F2. But I don’t care, I will install it and figure out what is actually needed rather than just install everything. In other words, impossible to create a deployment solution for it. They more or less tell you that you have to use their DVD to install Windows (which has everything Preinstalled) and then you need to install the Updates afterwards. They will never reach the corporate market if they keep doing like this. The VGN-Z51WG/B model is a little bit better with a description on most downloads and everything is available for 圆4, but still, Sony hasn’t learned that they need to describe what they ask us to install. You might remember my post on the older VGN-Z21WN/B which was awful. Well, I got my hands on a Sony VAIO VGN-Z51WG/B or VGN-Z51WG_B if you used the command wmic csproduct get name. If you’ve read my article on what drivers are needed for the HP EliteBook 8440p you understand that I like to keep my computer clean and keep the installed stuff at the minimum.
