    yea i need help too... T__T

    I'm having issues with finding my drivers too. I'm not super familiar with installing drivers and such either...

    I have an older Sony VAIO VGN-C270CE and I managed to install Windows 7 Professional (the microsoft 7 advisor said i was capable so i went for it! cuz i can't stand Vista anymore)

    Ran into issues (like many have...)...my function keys (volume + brightness), trackpad, were not working. I'm not sure about my graphics card either. I went to the Sony website for my drivers but they either didn't run properly or gave me the "you have to run the 64 bit version of DPInst.exe on this machine" ...I realized that my VAIO was running Vista 32bit ...is there anyway of bypassing this? If so which drivers can I use in place?

    Thanks

    I started you a new thread, there is no need for you piggyback a thread a thread that is intended for a FZ model when you own a C2 model. It leads to a very messy thread.
