    I've exhausted my googling... and I'm posting as a last resort, trust me!

    It appears there are no Windows 7 x64 drivers for this video.

    The Intel video is installed fine but the NVIDIA (9300M GS) is seen as "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".

    Windows update didn't find it.

    NVIDIA's detect tool on their site didn't find it.

    Windows Vista 32 or 64 drivers do not work.

    Driverpacksolution (usually my silver bullet if all else fails!) didn't work either :(

    Any chance somone knows of a modded Vaio driver that may work? As we all know Sony likes to change their hardware so standard drivers never work!

    Could you post a link or your full model number? I'm not familiar with the Z4 and can't find the download page!

    I actually found the VGN-Z4 that was mentioned above and downloaded those drivers.

    The screen went black and hung that way during the install but when I rebooted the drivers were installed fine!

    Thanks!
