    hi guys

    Just upgraded my VGN-SZ491N to Windows Ultimate 32 bits OS with a 320GB 5400 rpm drive. It is much faster than the 4200rpm drive.

    Anyway, after the fresh install of Win732 onto my new hard drive, I need to find the drivers for my built in Intel and Nviaid video card, can someone kindly tell me where I can download those drivers to complete my install.

    Many thanks in advance.

    If can't find ones specific to WIN 7, use the Vista drivers. Many of them will perform just as well. (since appears your laptop came loaded with Vista Business)
    Did this on my daughter's 3 year old Sony (came with XP and was upgradeable to Vista). Used the Vista drivers for anything WIN 7 Home Premium 32 bit did not automatically load and it worked fine.

    Correct.
    On Win7 32bit, you can just use the Vista stuff.
