OK let's try this uninstall your driver (from device manager)
and then install the new one

You will likely need to find the correct driver on the Sony site for your model of notebook. Many laptop drivers are not the same as drivers for a desktop PC.

Filling in your system specs will help a lot. System Info - See Your System Specs

Maryfy?
I think the one you got form the Vaio site would be the best and latest. As I said Laptops have special drivers to go with the specific hardware.

Well it can be a driver bug (wrong driver version displayed) so if everything works than you're fine I guess...
