    Hey everyone!

    Like some (not many, not all), I've been encountering issues installing the sony drivers for Windows 7 64-bit. For starters, I'd just like a proper nVidia driver for my GeForce 8600M GT so my resolution is back to it's 1080p glory. I can't even detect my external display.

    I went to the site http://www.vaio-link.com/os/vista/64bit/ but it will not grant me access to the drivers. When I go to the nVidia site, I can't install the drivers from there. It claims I'm not compatible with the driver. So I went to laptopdrivers2go (or something like that), but I don't know what to search for!

    So as you can see, I'm a bit helpless at the moment. I think once my display is going right I'll be able to fix everything else eventually. Can anyone help me?

    Update: So I found a way to download the drivers from the site that I couldn't access, the Sony Europe site. How do I install these new drivers?
