Fix: Install Windows 7 Nvidia drivers on Sony VGC-LA2

May 7, 2011 -- Scenario: You own a Sony Vaio VGC-LA2 All-in-one Desktop PC and you have migrated to Windows 7 from the originally installed Windows Vista. Even though the Sony uses the Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 graphics hardware, Windows 7 only sees your video as a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter with a maximum screen resolution of 1024x768.

In the situation I encountered, the hard drive had failed (out of warranty) and recently replaced. Rather than reinstall Windows Vista it seemed to make sense to move forward and install a new version of Windows 7. Windows 7 is actually very good at identifying hardware and finding appropriate drivers -- except in this case.

Sony was no help on this one -- Sony simply doesn't support the VGC-LA2 running Windows 7. Sony suggests "that you can expect that the majority of Windows Vista drivers will work under a retail version of Windows 7."


Since this was a clean install of Windows 7, naturally the Vista drivers were not available to me to even try. Even though I located the original Vista driver package on the Sony site, I could not figure out how to install them without the "Vaio Care" program previously installed under Vista.

Apparently there are many users with this problem after moving to Windows 7 on this particular Sony model. It is disappointing to see that a computer released only two years before the release of Windows 7 is not supported by Sony under Windows 7.

The solutions provided here may work for other brands and models of notebook and desktop computers.

Solution 1:

After considerable searching I found reference to a program called DriverMax that worked for someone else with a similar problem. A CNET review was positive. I have seen similar programs before and was sceptical. I created a system restore point before installation in case things went wrong. I registered for a free version (use a disposable email address such as Mailinator if you like), installed and ran the program -- it took ages for the scan to run while it checked a list of drivers on the system (possibly extra slow for the free version). The program allows 2 free driver downloads per day.


DriverMax did find an Nvidia 8.16.11.8691 driver which it eventually downloaded for me (not sure where it stored them) and I then allowed DriverMax to install the driver. The driver appeared to install okay and after the restart the screen resolution was automatically set correctly at 1680 x 1050. Not wanting or needing the intrusion of DriverMax on the system, I then uninstalled DriverMax.


Solution 2:

Not content with solving the specific problem at hand, now that I knew what I was looking for, I went looking for and found the Nvidia drivers directly.

DriverVer = 09/01/2009, 8.16.11.8691

Download for Windows Vista x86, Windows 7 x86

Download for Windows Vista x64, Windows 7 x64

These drivers originate from Microsoft Update and are compatible with just about every notebook Nvidia graphics hardware from the GeForce 6 generation onwards regardless of computer manufacturer (OEM).

I tested the driver package (ran setup.exe) on an HP Compaq Windows 7 laptop with the Nvidia GeForce 7000 and it updated to this version without a problem and without any questions.


A final note:

The solutions provided here may work for other models of laptop and desktop computers. However, unless you are having a specific driver problem (video or other), it is wise to be cautious when updating hardware drivers as your system may become non-bootable or unstable.

Often the computer manufacturer's drivers (e.g. Sony) are designed to work with your specific hardware whereas the component manufacturer's (e.g. Nvidia) latest drivers may not work. Your first source for drivers should be your computer manufacturer's website.

My recommendation: If it is working, don't fix it.

I had the exact same problem and spent hours trying to download a driver from sony e-support. Thanks to you Driver Max fixed it :) It did take forever (cuz I did the free thing) but well worth it. Thank you!!!
