64-bit: NVIDIA DRIVERS 266.58 WHQL
So this is what Sony's Vaio Support site says:

Sony eSupport - VGN-FZ470E



But as I said earlier, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor still says the GeForce 8400M GT will not be compatible. Should I just attempt to see what happens?

Don't worry about the upgrade adviser ts a nVidia graphic card, as long as it has it in the support list.

Hello Peter,

Did it give you any error messages?

Did you see if uninstalling the 260.99 drivers would allow you to install the newer version?

Hello Peter,

No errors, just failed to install and yes, I tried every possible method. Ended up with a screen that looked to me to be sub-RGB if that is possible. The same goes for any drivers beta or otherwise above this version, but in my main Vista OS only. I did manage to get 266.58 to install on the other one and in my Win 7's.

Sorry I should have clarified which OS I was talking about and realized we were talking Win 7 here.

I must say, judging by the nVidia GeForce forums, I am by no means alone in this situation.

Peter,

You might see if using Guru3D - Driver Sweeper to wipe all traces of the old NIVIDIA drivers and any other video driver found may help, and allow you to install the newer driver afterwards.
