    Can someone please point me in the right direction to get drivers for this comp? I think I have everything installed but the camera and an unknown device and mass storage controller that show up with an ! in Device manager. I've had a look through ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/ORIGINAL/ but drivers there stop at the AR6. To the best of my knowledge the chipset is an intel p965 and I have installed these drivers from the intel site as well as the Realtek and nvidia drivers. Thanks in advance....

    I do not have an AR71. I have an FZ280 e/b. The 'mass storage device' for me was the 4 in 1 Memory Card Reader (Texas Instruments). Not sure if it's the same for you. I was able to pull the driver for that from the ftp site you mention.
