Sony Vaio Nvidia Drivers

Oct 30, 2009

How I installed the latest Nvidia M 186.81 notebook driver to my Sony Vaio VGN-AR51E laptop. Sony is supposed to supply the drivers but they don't for some reason.

The latest laptop drivers from Nvidia work if you alter two lines of information in the appropriate inf file before executing. I downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia (186.81) and ran it so it unpacked into a folder in my C drive. [Message box says it won't install].

From Control panel I got my driver hardware ID

Control panel / Device manager / Display adapters / Properties / Details / Device description/

PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D&REV_A1

PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D

PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&CC_030000

PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&CC_0300

(You just need the second line here)

Then I opened up the Nvidia driver package and altered NVDM.inf file, in the Display folder, by adding two lines to include my hardware ID

(as you scroll down the inf file and study, you will see where these go, in two different list sections)

%NVIDIA_DEV.0426.01% = Section005, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9016104D

NVIDIA_DEV.0426.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT (Sony Vaio AR51E)"

I included my ID also in ListDevices.txt in the NVDM.inf section

and in modes.txt (but may be superfluous - I am no expert!)

Also I put the two lines in the NVAM.inf (but may be superfluous)

Don't forget to save all.

I deleted the old Nvidia driver rebooted and ran setup on the new Nvidia driver! It worked!! Hope this helps you. PYL

Windows 7 32bit Seeing Nvidia 8400M GT As Standard VGA, Sony Vaio

Dec 12, 2012

My System:

Sony Vaio VGN-FZ38M
Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Nvidia Geforece 8400M GT
Drivers tried - 306.97

[Code].....

Red entries are my edits. As you can see in nvmt.ini I've copied the Section numbers from the previous entries, as in: %NVIDIA_DEV.0426.9005.104D% = Section006, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_0426&SUBSYS_9005104D

I've had some limited success...

My system now sees the GPU as an Nvidia 8400M. So far so good. However I'm still getting error messages. Firstly, on reboot, the system stops the card because of driver problems. Secondly, if I run the Nvidia software, it says the monitor is not connected to an Nvidia card. Lastly, if I update the driver, it reverts to Standard VGA in the Device Driver list.

So, It looks as if I need to do more. My immediate thoughts are:

1) Should I be editing the nvmt.inf file, or perhaps another one - nvmm.ini or nvlt.in? How do I know which nv??.inf to edit?

2) In the nv??.inf file, I have no idea which 'section' to point at. I tried 11 and 12 as seen in another thread, but got the same issues. So I tried the same section entries as the next most similar card, but to no avail.

Sony VAIO Vgn-sz430n Drivers

Nov 21, 2009

I have a sony vaio vgn-sz430n running Windows Vista Business. I upgraded to Windows 7 and it went off without a hitch until the first log in. The desktop will not fill the screen and it only gives me two options for resolutions: ~1024x768 and 800x600. I went to device manager and found that my display driver is now standard vga driver.

The laptop has an nvidia geforce go 7400 graphics card and, from what I've read, it also shares memory with onboard integrated graphics...I think. I read other threads suggesting methods to fix this problem but none of them have worked. I tried downloading the windows 7/vista driver for that nvidia graphics card from nvidia but the setup program says no compatible hardware found.

I tried pointing Windows 7's driver installation (from device manager) to the driver's location in the setup folder but it tells me the most current driver is already installed and no update is needed. I even tried modding the driver (as suggested on another thread) but that didn't work.
