Try going to Nvidia's website for the proper drivers. Here's the link http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Try using the "Auto-Detect your GPU" option first.

I had similar problems with my notebook since MSI did not included support for Windows 7 but only Vista (not even XP or older because of the HDD's AHCI mode) but with one difference, for me, Win7 installed correctly, I just had to find some third-party drivers and/or install the Vista ones...
I'm sorry this isn't a real solution, I'm actually joining to those who say Vista drivers most likely should work on Win7 too.

Also- Have you tried installing a fresh Windows 7?
(Not upgrading, reinstalling or such.)
(Note: I can barely see anything at that picture...)

SOURCE: i have a sony vaio

Most likely missing a driver for SD/MC card reader
The problem is that Sony doesnt offer drivers for 64-bit windows so the other 32-bit drivers will not be compatible.
You have the options to install the windows versions supported by sony from esupport.sony.com (Vista or XP)
Or try installing windows 7 32-bit and installing the missing drivers from esupport (Vista section) as usually they are compatible.
If the driver is still missing you will need to update the driver from device manager (previously installed from esupport) and then select to browse or select a location, which will be %temp% or what is the same the temp folder for your account C\users\your_user_name\appdata\temp. This folder is usually hidden but it will work if you just type %temp%

SOURCE: doesn't have a mass storage controller for my laptop sony vaio vgn-n220e

If memory serves me, the mass storage controller is part of the chipset software. Here is a link to the driver download for you laptop. Choose the OS, and then look under motherboard for the chipset driver. While you are there, you might even update all your hardware drivers.

Hope this helps

From the looks of things after searching Google, it looks like Sony has admitted that there is a factory issue with that laptop and that video board. Contact Sony for a factory repair.

You need the Win7 camera driver, check sony support at:

just enter your Win7 operating system (there are 9 versions of Win7), and select the downloads (2)

I am having Sony Vaio-VGN FZ15g laptop.I upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit but now camera is not being detected and working?

I have tried to install windows 7 onto a viao laptop and had similar problems with items not working and it seems that on some things, there is no fix, the only thing I can suggest would be to go to Sony's website, and try downloading the latest drivers from there, if there are no windows 7 drivers available then try the older ones in compatibility mode.

Sony vaio VGN-SZ430N/B

I'd suggest ring back Sony support and tell them that your OS is Windows 7 - not Vista. Therefore, you need the upgraded VGA driver because the Vista driver is incompatible with Windows 7. Hope it all goes well. If my suggestion works for you, please do rate me. Thanks

Bright Adjust!

check the version of driver you have for the geforce graphics card. it is likely the generic microsoft driver. you need to update that by obtaining the correct and most current driver from the NVIDIA site
