    Hey All,

    I presently own a VPCL137FX/B, all-in-one, (nvidia GT330m) and I'm unable to update the nvidia driver, is there a way around this?

    Nvidia released an updated driver, a little while ago, but I'm unable to install it; I believe Sony is supposed to update these drivers, but they never do.

    Does anyone know how to install the driver?

    Thank you,

    Good afternoon!

    My name is Amanda Maffei here with the Sony Support team. I'm sorry to hear that you're currently having trouble updating your NVIDIA driver. Please follow this link to our esupport site: View Document 0 232071941. It will explain that the NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics driver update does not install using VAIO Update. Please read carefully and let us know if there's anything else that we can help you with. Thanks! =)

    I'd really appreciate some assistance, if possible, granted Sony has been 0 help.

    The only help I've received is that they "can't help me," but they can sell me a new computer...
