Re-reading your post, I suppose it would be okay to update the Display
adapter from Windows Update, since you are using the "Microsoft Corporation"
driver for that particular device, if the Update is recently dated. If you
do so, take note of the version number for the driver you have now, and
compare it to the version number you have after the Update. If the driver's
version is lower, or if it doesn't pan out for whatever reason, you can
always choose to Roll Back the Driver in Device Manager, on the Driver tab.

I have edited the Windows update service to not update hardware.



Interestingly though in running update after the Sony files the graphics
driver updates\d again as well as the audio. Device Manager shows
everything is a proprietary driver. Even the Memory Stick Driver !

I have a Sony laptop ( 2 years old ). Sont is not supporting it for Vista
but through trial and error I have gotten everything to work except the
VGA ouput. It runs through the first boot screens bu no joy after that.
I have installed all the same or similar drivers from Sony for machines
similar and still nothing.

Iwas wondering if there was any experiens out there as to how to get this
to work ? I'm wondering if an Intel driver moght do the trick ?
Also the Sony drivers for on screen volume and video dont work either.
Might be model # specific ?
