You can try drivers from VGNCR2xx US version. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNCR220E&SelectOS=7

You may need to use Universal Extractor to bypass the model checker. Or you can change model.txt in your Windows directory right at the point the installation program ask you to read the license agreement. Replace the text in model.txt with the laptop model where you download the driver from. For example: if you download a driver from Sony site intended for VGN-CR220E, replace the text with VGN-CR220E.
