    Hello,

    I recently bought a used Z590 and i installed windows 7 on it. Can anyone who ACTUALLY STILL USES the model post the drivers he's using?

    I've tried everything from the sony site, both US and EUROPEAN models. The 9300gs will simply not start.

    Long shot, but could you please:
    Right-click 'Computer' and click manage and go into Device Manager.
    Expand Display adapters and right-click one of the video cards and click details and then hardware IDs. Right-click the longest hardware ID and click copy and do this for the other GPU as well.

    e.g.
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0649&SUBSYS_059717FF&REV_A1
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2A42&SUBSYS_059717FF&REV_07

    and post back what they are.

    Otherwise, you can look here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/342947-my-discoveries-vaio-z-s-hybrid-graphics.html :D
