    Hi folks,

    I guess I have similar issues re drivers on win7 Home Premium 64bit. I recently did a clean install of the W7x64 (full retail) on my tt11wn/b (Core 2 Duo 1.2ghz, 4gb ram). Everything seems to be working fine, except for some driver problems:

    - Light sensor doesn't work, even though it has been enabled in the vaio control center.

    - Base System Device issue in the 'Device Manager', unrecognised device perhaps a card reader, but under 'SD host adapters' there is SDA standard compliant SD host controller recognised.

    - Lastly, modem issues, recognised incorrectly - Globetrotter HSUPA Modem.

    Have been surfing internet past few days for solutions, but didn't find any, also checked Sony Europen Support Portal for 64 bit drivers, which provides some but apparently not for the above. For me, the most important thing is get the light sensor working properly, otherwise I don't use the later 2 much anyway, but fixing them is good too.

    Any solutions? your help is much appreciated.

    You're right about the base system device being an unrecognized driver for the SD card reader.

    I got rid of it by using these drivers:
    SD driver
    Memory Stick driver

    I used this Conexant modem driver.

    I don't know how to fix your display problem, but you might go to the Sony Web site for an update of your display driver.

    I'm also on 64-bit Windows 7 and everything is working great for me now.
