    Hi, I have a Sony Vaio S Series Laptop Model # SVS151290X with Windows 8. I have no conflicts in Device Manager, however when I run the Intel Driver Update Utility it displays that the Intel Wireless Display adapter is present but not compatible with the operating system. How can I make sure the WiDi adapter is detected? What entries in Device Manager should I look for? Thanks

    There is no device under Device Manager for such WiDi.
    You should download and install all newest drivers for Intel HD 4000, Wifi and WiDi.
    You can go to station-drivers.com for the newest drivers (all digitally signed)

    Hi, thanks for the link. But, what do you mean by that? AFAIk every hardware device should be listed in Device Manager.

    WiDi is a combination of 2 devices which are already installed, Intel Graphics and WiFi.
    There is no actual specific hardware device for WiDi.
    However, WiDi is hard to setup under Windows 8.
