Hi Jack,

The drivers provided by Nvidia will not install on a Vaio without a modified INF file.

Have a look at the following link and read the Quick Start Guide - towards the bottom of the page on the right.

Hi Jack,

What is the error message you are receiving and which driver have you downloaded?

Have you followed the instructions to the letter especially replacing the existing INF with the modified version?

If you have not already done so make sure you have the correct INF Enhancer - follow this link.

If you are still having problems then let us know the hardware id of the Nvidia adaptor. This can be found by opening Device Manager, expanding Display Adaptors, right clicking the Nvidia FX go5700, selecting Properties and on the Details tab, under Device description, select Hardware Ids.
