    I need help guys...

    I have Sony Vaio VGN-S48GP (pcg-6g7p) made in Japan.
    I have reinstalled windows recently and I'm looking for a graphic drivers for this model. Where ever I go, what ever I look...I just cant find it.
    I tried everything so far and no success.

    I have installed everest and it says that I need nvidia geforce 6200/6400 driver so I started downloading at least 30 drivers for my graphic card and always I get message that I have wrong driver.

    sony.com, sony-asia, sony-this, sony-that, sony-anything...but...I just can't find it.

    Please guys...help me on this one and I will get you a 24 pack of beer (your pick) when you come to Serbia.

    Thanks and god bless you.

    I don't know if you'll be able to use these drivers.
    VAIO : Sony Europe

    Ok, i just checked the spec page and it should be fine.

    Try a small program called Universal Extractor: Universal Extractor | LegRoom.net - What you're trying to do is install a driver from Sony that is failing the model check. Take the same driver Rachel linked you to and follow these simple instructions posted from one of NBR members on Univ Extractor:
    Download and install Universal Extractor. To use this app right click on the Sony installation files you downloaded and click UniExtract files. This will open up the app. Rename the destination directory to something you will recognize such as "Intel Wireless Driver", otherwise you will get a folder like "SOAOTH-43700000-64", which would be much harder to remember. After renaming the destination folder click ok. After the app scans the file, a new screen will pop up. For extraction method use the E_Wise unpacker, leave all settings as they are and click ok. The program will then extract the installation files. Then open the director where you extracted the files. In it you'll find some text files, CHECKMODEL.EXE(that lovely program that would stop you normally) and another folder called TEMPEXEFOLDER. This folder is where the installers you need are.
    After run the driver thru that should be able to install
