Nvidia driver for Sony Vaio aw windows 7 ult 32 bit  

Dear Anyone

This is a common problem with Sony and Nvidia where I cannot install the driver to make the graphics card work.

I installed windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and have tried all the suggestions I can find to install the display driver with no luck.

I have tried modifying the installation file with the mobility modder program, changing the INF file and trying the latest driver from NVIDIA all with absolutely no luck.

Any idea at all

Thanks

Not the latest but have you tried the driver from Sony,

Sony eSupport - VGN-AW235J - Software Updates & Drivers

Have you tried having Windows automatically download recommended drivers? Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware

Thankyou for all your replies.

Ive tried all your suggestions and other more "advanced ideas" using substituted inf files and modding etc etc and now its obvious, and after reading other bits and pieces about this problem, that Nvidia and Sony don't get along with each other or something and will not support their hardware.

Hopefully one day Nvidia will make one to go with windows 7 and til then ill dual boot xp onto my comp as apparently (after some more reading) the drivers are compatible with my Sony nice computer but pity you cant f*@ing watch movies on it AW235J. That has hardly any issues at all apperntly even with Bluray working and im going start installing it soon so ill know soon. Im sure ill find some issues but better than a screen that isnt quite right.

If anyone knows of a site like laptop2go that has the driver (I find it hard to believe some geeker hasnt sat down and written a driver for it) then please let me know, or even when Nvidia bring out the official one.

Otherwise any other help from anyone with a Sony AW series or specifically the AW235J would be appreciated on how to get the graphics driver for Win 7 32 bit.

Thanks

They have and have been since before Windows 7 came out. Problem is that Sony won't or hasn't yet, released an updated driver to work the the Nvidia cards that they have used in their computers. Same thing happens with ATI laptop cards, some of the computer manufacturers are allowing the reference drivers to work with their computers, and some like Sony aren't.

I have finally installed the Nvidia driver and I think the solution was a bit more basic than I made it in the end.

All i did was reinstall windows 7, making sure I formatted the hdd first rather than just upgrading vista or anything.

Then I downloaded the file again from lap2govideo or whatever it is along with the INF file (it was strange but this time it would allow me to replace the nv_disp file and this may have had something to do also with the old system hanging around?)

Anyway do this and it let me install and I guess lap2govideo is the answer for this problem with a clean install.

Stilll noone including Nvidia support has been unable to tell me that...reinstall your windows.

Thanks for all your help.
