    I am afraid there is no Win7 drivers for this laptop.
    Anyway, let try install WinXP drivers on current Win.

    I can't even find Vista drivers for this either? Also, something's up with this particular unit, I cannot find this model listed on Sony's site so I can't even find XP drivers for it?

    It is VGN-FS series. You may find it somewhere around LCD bezel.

    @Amanda, Sony won't sell parts to end-users anymore.
    Do not suggest them to call to buy parts.
    @mike, to find your VGN model, press F2 to go to bios when your laptop starts, you will see VGN-FSxxx number in first bios page.
    Then use the link provided above to find your model to download drivers and utilities.

    ok, thanks all, I found the model which is VGN-FS850 and the sound driver words but the Video Vista driver is not installing. I tried uninstalling the generic driver and then reinstalling the Vista driver but doesn't work, any ideas please?

    XP driver should work fine under Vista.
