    Downgraded to 7 from 8.1 . Now cannot get correct drivers. Sony Vaio


    Hi guys,

    As in title, some drivers are okay, however 'Network Controller' and 'USB controller' are causing me problems. (Picture Included)

    Sony Vaio SVE1512M1E Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.

    I cannot get a Network Controller for my 32 bit system, thus no wifi!

    From Sony website:

    ''In case you .. downgrade to Windows 7 Operating System (64bit version), we have released the necessary drivers, utilities, and hardware settings info to install after downgrading. ''

    So how can I get around this mess?

    Regards.

    I would start over and this time follow the steps to get and keep a perfect Clean Reinstall Windows 7.

    If you have 4gb or more RAM then use 64 bit for best performance.

    It explains how to find your drivers and get your preferred programs.
