    Hi Guys

    I just recently brought a Sony VAIO S series. I noticed the Driver that Sony had provided me was kinda out of date (Youtube videos playing Laggy and what not) So i go on the Intel website to download the latest drivers. So i uninstall the original drivers from the computer and Install the latest ones from Intel. (GPU is Intel HD Graphics. So once the driver is installed i reboot the computer and everything seems fine when i get onto the login screen. A few seconds later the screen goes to its minimum brightness setting and i can't do anything to control it. ( adjusting it through windows power managemen) Is there a Fix for this issue?

    Thanks for any input

    SA/SB/SC or the older S?

    SA/SB/SC, you cannot just download the latest Intel drivers. There are drivers provided by a few members on NBR forums :)
