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. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html

I do have the correct driver because in the first place I brought the driver from the vaio's website using my computer's model now I need to update it to the latest version inorder to use maryfy that needs that latest wireless driver so I downloaded it from intel website but it doesnt updating to the newer version, I tried to uninstall the old driver from the device manager and install the new driver but it gets me to the old 13... version..,
any other suggestions??

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...
