Greetings all, I just upgraded my Sony Vaio VGN-SZ491N laptop with an SSD and Windows 7 64-bit. Unfortunately, as I learned after going to Sony's website, Sony only offers driver support for XP and Vista. While I have been able to get most of the laptop's features up and running with updated drivers from other sources, the display driver is still stumping me. The display driver is self reporting as 'Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.' This standard driver won't fill up my screen (4:3 only - not the 16:9 the laptop requires) and is obviously missing all of the graphics acceleration that a proper driver would provide.

It looks like I should be using the Intel 945 drivers, but I can't find Windows 7 64-bit (or 32-bit) versions of the drivers, and when I try to install the Vista versions, it says that I don't meet the minimum system requirements. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can definitively find out what kind of graphics driver I should be looking for, and how to install it in such a way that the computer doesn't think that 'Standard VGA Graphics Adapter' is the end-all-be-all of graphical computer and refuses to update? I very greatly appreciate any help you all might be able to offer! Bridgeport Ez Path Software.

All the best, James. Thank you all for your replies! Robert Schimmel Unprotected Rarest. I've actually downloaded the files that you mentioned above, but the computer says I don't meet the minimum requirements for the driver installation. Is there some way to confirm that I'm actually using the Intel graphics hardware? The Sony page also listed an nVidia card, but I tried that driver as well with no luck.

Do I have to uninstall the VGA driver first? Is there some other information I can provide to better describe my problem? Thanks again very much! Hi We reload Laptops ALL the time in my shops.

All the best Brett. Greetings all, James Brett is wrong. Typical repair man, if they can't find an easy fix they claim it is impossible.it is possible. I have an old Vaio that I use windows 7 on. The trick is that you need to got o the sony site and download the Vista ATI graphics driver. Then right click on the file and select compatibility mode. Select Vista.it will work (I know as I have just done my own after a fresh install in Windows 7).
