Sony VAIO VPCCW16FG (NVIDIA Display Driver etc) HELP~!

[Helsey]

Hi.

Sorry, I'm new here and I'm from Singapore. I just bought a new laptop SONY Vaio. Model name is stated in the topic. Well, I'm using this laptop in school. My School IT helpdesk reformated my computer and make the necessary adjustments so that my laptop can log into my school's domain. My laptop now is Windows 7 Enterprise..

But there are a few problems.
I have to download some things on my own which I do not know how. I know totally nothing about computers and stuffs.

I have to download: NVIDIA Display Driver, Card Reader and Sony Webcam Application.

I wonder if anyone out there could help me? Million thanks!! Your help is appreciated.

Without them, my laptop can't really do much.. No?

You'll find what you need here - Windows 7 Clean Install Instructions for CW Series, as it's a guide to installing Windows 7 on your model.

Any problems, report back.

Did you not check your products support page? And see the link in my signature for instructions.

I did, but because my laptop was 64 bits Windows 7 HE. My school's system couldn't support it they reformatted and install Windows 7 Enterprise 6700 and downgrade it to 32 bits instead..

Edit: Okay, I'm trying to install the one with Windows 7 32-bit.
