Note: You may have some difficulties getting these drivers to work with your system. Give them a try and follow all extra instructions if you have any problems.

It's not clear from your post whether your laptop has a separate graphics card or just onboard video. Most laptops only have onboard video. Try and install the drivers from the first link and if those don't work, then you can try the drivers from the second link.

Intel drivers: http://s02.download.sony.com/US/pc/INDVID-01355607-US.EXE
Nvidia drivers: http://s02.download.sony.com/US/pc/NVDVID-01422002-US.EXE

1. Follow appropriate link and download the drivers by clicking Save File.
2. Save the file to the desktop if you are given an option. If you are not given an option the file should be saved to your Downloads folder in your User directory.
3. Find the file you downloaded and right-click on it and select Properties.
4. Click the Compatibility tab and put a check mark next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" Select Windows Vista SP2 in the drop down box. Click Apply and then OK.
5. Run the file. If the drivers won't install, then follow the second link above and follow steps 1-5 again.

Note: If you're still having difficulties installing the drivers, then you may try a few other things.
Run Windows Update from the Start Menu or Control Panel and check for new updates. Select optional updates and select to install any drivers that Windows Update says you need.

Also you might try downloading video card updates straight from NVidia. Follow this link for that: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Good luck, please post back to this solution if you have any difficulties, and thanks for using FixYa.

My sony vgn-c240e not fillng the screen with windows 7. 1024x768 is the max available resolution when my notebook requiresa 1280x800 for optimum resolution.

You will need to update via the Microsoft update setting making sure you tick the box in the optional downloads to get the graphics driver you need after this is done you can then get a higher resolution to make windows 7 display fit the whole screen if this does not happen then you will need to the support website for the Sony vaio this link here is where you start to get the correct drivers you need for your display if the Microsoft updates didn't fix your graphics problem http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/index.aspx?l=en_GB

Stuck Resolution On 1024x768 Please HELP!!!

Need to make sure the video drivers are installed. Go here to get them:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGN-NR360E/S

Go to the video and then download the driver that says Original - Mobile Intel® Express Chipset Family Graphics Driver

Download it and then install it. At that point you'll be able to move your resolution to whatever you want it to go.
