    Hi all,
    I have a Sony VAIO VGN-SZ430NB notebook with this Texas Instruments PCI7411 Controller (It sounds like FlashMedia, PCMCIA, and Firewire controller in one solution, and I found this information on Texas Instruments website).

    Please, does somebody know where I can find windows vista drivers for Texas Instruments PCI7411 integrated controller for this notebook (the ones provided on Sony's website doesn't work properly)?

    I've tried to install, and reinstall, several times the Sony's latest drivers for this controller on my notebook, but It only gives me blue screen when I try to install any PCMCIA Card with the appropriate windows vista drivers.

    I've looked in deep on Sony's drivers for this Texas Instruments drivers, and It looks like it is windows xp driver indeed (only "compatible with vista"). Therefore, I'm facing several problems trying to install any PCMCIA cards on this notebook...

    I've tried to call several times to Sony's Support, but they don't care about this problem cause it says on their website that the TI drivers as "windows vista compatible", and they couldn't provide any solution beyond asking me to reinstall the drivers, and reinstall windows over, and over again - that obviously didn't solve the problem.

    Please, May somebody knows where I can find at least 3td party windows vista drivers for this controller??I've being searching for it on google for while with no success....

    I appreciate any help you can give me,
    Thanks in advance,
    Roger

    Hi,
    thanks for helping...
    This link is the sony's driver that I've described on my previous post...
    It is indeed windows xp driver, and It doesn't work as It should on windows vista.
    I've tried to call Sony's support again, and I tried to open a request for their drivers' developers take a look further. However, they didn't want to help at all, even asking help for their better technician , the the only thing that they do is ask to reinstall everything over, and over again....

    Please, Does anybody know where I can find drivers for this device??
