Sony does list Windows 7 drivers for this machine. but to be certain download and try this utility from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20. If this says you're good, you are. It will also show you what upgrades in both hardware and software may be needed for Win 7 to run properly.

SOURCE: I need drivers for the sonvy vaio PCG-6F1L!

That is because the actual Sony model is VGN-S360.or VGN-S360P You should be able to verify it. The model nember is not on the bottom it is on the RH LCD hinge. I do not think you can download the drivers anywhere but you can try:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNS360

or just buy aa set of recovery DVDs from Sony
If you have the VGN-S360:

If you have the VVGN-S360P then

Click start run type cmd press Enter

black screen should open DOS mode

this will vary depending on your operating system

For eg. If you want to change administrator password , type net user Administrator


it will prompt you to enter the new password
enter the new password and the password is changed

if this fails

Now you're ready to reboot your PC, and press the appropriate key or key

if this fails try typing

Pcg 61213w

if the sony laptop already has an OS on it or a newer version of windows than XP, you have to uninstall the current OS on the sony vaio. also, that means reformatting the Hard Drive on the sony which actually wipes it clean. Before you do that, you should have the original disk of the sony pc drivers installation or you need to go to the product(sony vaio) web site so you can download those drivers for (PCG-61213W) to disk or flash drive. after wiping Hard drive, you can install the XP, then the drivers that you downloaded. However, viaos are strange pc's so i would ask Sony if this XP install will be compatible with the Sony pc hardware components first. good luck.

My vga card for sony vgn-t2xp model pcg-4d1m

The model of your sony vaio is VGN-T2XP/L and chassis type is PCG-4D1M

I can only give you a link where you can download necessary drivers, updates/firmwares or original drivers that comes with this unit. It depends on what operating system you are currently using.
If you then upgrade your operating system for example from windows vista to windows 7, then suddenly some hardware including sounds, lancard, vga experienced some troubles, I do suggest you downgrade again your operating system or find appropriate compatible drivers that will work for your new operating system.
In this link you will find something that might help you.
