Drivers for Sony Vaio VGN-SZ75GN

[sjt]

I am using a Sony vaio laptop VGN-SZ75GN. I recently upgraded my windows vista busniess 32-bit to a windows 7 profesional 64-bit using a clean installation.


Processor Technology Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology
Processor Name Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8100(2.10 GHz)*1*2
Chipset Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset
Graphics Accelerator NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GS notebook graphics processing unit(GPU) (SPEED MODE) / Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (STAMINA MODE) Dedicated Video Memory 64MB(SPEED MODE)

On top there is some of the specifications of my laptop.
I can't get a proper driver for my Intel Chipset. Therefore I can't use the Intel Graphic Media Accelerator for my stamina mode. But I mange to sort out the NVIDIA graphic card's problem based on one of the post in the forum.
My camera is not working as I can't get a proper driver for it.
All the FN function can't work due to the driver problem.
Please let me know how can I get those drivers. Thanks a lot in advacnce.



Yours sincerely,
sjt

Welcome to the forums sjt!

You may have a "fun" time with this pickle... Not only is this an older model lappy, but you are trying to install a 64bit OS on it as well! You may never find 64 bit drivers for this thing...

According to the Sony website your lappy is a special Asian/Pacific version. There are drivers available but for XP. I'm sorry to tell you but Sony is terrible for drivers and support...

Plus this website also contains a link to models that can be upgraded to win7, yours isnt listed: What are the supported models for Windows 7 Upgrade - Web support? : Windows 7 Related : Sony Asia Pacific

Here is the Sony DL page I found for your laptop... Original Drivers for VGN-SZ7 Series : Sony Asia Pacific

Unless you know where to look that is.

Hi Darryl Licht,

Thanks for the quick response. I have tried to download all the original drivers. Its either cannot support Window 7 or cannot support 32 bit OS.
Any idea I can get the all the particular drivers?

Hi FZ21Z,

Do u know where can I get those drivers? I have tried for a week to get all the driver. In the end I failed to do so. Kind of frustrated to search for the drivers.
Do tell me if u know where can I get it.
Millions of thank you.

Well, do tell the OP and I where??? Please?

The difficulty for the OP finding these drivers may be due to the fact that it isnt a US issue lappy, but I found the Sony support pages for his model listed as Asian/Pacific market (links posted earlier), drivers listed there are all XP.

Intel drivers page for your chipset... http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Sea...duct=Mobile+Intel®+965+Express+Chipset+Family

I have tried before for this driver. But once I launch the .exe file, it runs for a while then it pop up a message show said that

This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.

Setup will exit.


Any idea?

You have tried the Win7 64 bit driver and you get that message???

See my sig.

And have a look at this thread - Windows 7 Seven on VGN-SZ220

OK thanks FZ!

In the future, you might want to place those types of links directly into a relevent thread. I, as most here, probably dont scan a persons sig for links relevent to that topic.

FZ - Update--- the european support site in your sig, like the US sony support site, doesnt show the OPs model # either. And... I wasnt putting down Sony for their maze of support... they make nice stuff!

But I will say this... in 15+ years building, servicing, and supporting pc's, I dont like many big pc manufacturers support. I have found over the years that Dell, Toshiba, & Acer have had fairly reliable support, whereas Sony makes it more difficult than it should be. Especially with the smaller market PC's, which I also see alot of living in a military town

sjt any success? Give FZ's links a shot!

The x64 bit link provides drivers for a range of models, so they might find the driver they are looking for there, or if not at the other link which is a guide for installing 7 on that series.

I and others could provide you loads of links for Windows 7 drivers, it would help if you know what driver it is you're looking for though.

Basically.. I have followed all the instructions in FZ's link.
I managed to get all the functions work except for my S1, S2 button, camera and my memory card slot.
Any hints?
Thanks.

Could always try the hardware id way> go to device manager click on device>properties>details tab>drop down menu>select hardware id> Copy and paste the hardware id string. It may be possible to find a compatible driver from their. good luck Fabe
