Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 900 Issues
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 ? |

Depending on which Intel graphics chip your laptop has you may not be able
to get any support under Vista for it. Check the following link for details. http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-023606.htm "Wonderman" wrote in message ...

Thanks. I hunted around for a link like that and came up dry.
I'm wondering if the VGA output is a function of the Intel driver or the system chip ? "Wonderman" wrote in message ... I have a Sony laptop ( 2 years old ).

In Device Manager, expand Display Adapters. Is the device called Standard
VGA Graphics Card, or is it showing something else? As to your sound driver, you can download the latest one For Vista he http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...&GetDown=false Obtain the download for "Vista Driver(32/64 bits) Driver only (Executable file)", version R1.72. Once downloaded, right-click on Vista_R172a.exe, choose Properties, and click on Unblock. Then right-click on that file again, and choose Run as Administrator. If the installation wizard asks if you want remove your previous driver, say yes. Restart the computer, then, if the new driver is not installed, or if Windows' generic driver is installed, then run Vista_R172a.exe, as Administrator, one more time. "Wonderman" wrote in message ...

Thnaks on Sound Driver. I had installed it fromthe Sony site with somewhat
decentresults. Will revert back and follow your instrucitons. Device manager reports TWO Mobile Intel ( 915 chipset...900 ) Need to get video out the VGA port or its back to XP for me due to business use for presentations. This was a clean install of Vista Home Premium. It previously had Standard Graphics etc. "dean-dean" wrote in message ... In Device Manager, expand Display Adapters.

I forgot to mention in my previous post, that when you click on Unblock, be
sure to click on Apply, then OK. Your Intel Wireless Network driver is he http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...rsion&lang=eng Download V11.1.1.0_VT_DRIVERS.zip. Right-click V11.1.1.0_VT_DRIVERS.zip, choose Properties, then click on Unblock (Apply, OK). Extract the files, then right-click on DPInst32.EXE, and choose Run as Administrator. The important drivers from here, for Vista, are these. This should get your FN buttons, sound buttons, screen signals, etc., working: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu...Type=Migration VAIO® Event Services Update 01/30/2007 Sony® Shared Library Update 01/30/2007 VAIO® TV Tuner Library Update 01/30/2007 Sony® Utilities DLL Update 01/30/2007 Sony® Battery Check Utility Update 01/30/2007 Setting Utility Series Update 02/14/2007 (the earlier-dated one is a more recent version than the later-dated one, don't ask me why) Sony® Notebook Control Device Driver 03/16/2007 Microsoft® Update KB935333 04/19/2007 Sony® Programmable I/O Control Device Driver 05/22/2007 The driver you should use for your Display is the Intel one provided on the Vista Installation, according to Intel. In other words, the correct driver is not one you should download (there isn't one for Vista). I'm not sure what to make of the fact that you have two drivers listed under Display adapters. The correct one would be Mobile Intel 915GM...(Microsoft Corporation). From the info from Intel's website: "Included on Windows Vista installation DVD 14.17 (Build 4656)". I would uninstall both, and start over, updating it to the correct one, by picking it from the list in Device Manager. "Wonderman" wrote in message ... Thnaks on Sound Driver.

Thank You -
I wanted to get back to the Vista graphics driver and went through the Intel web site looking for a removal tool for their updated software from Sony that I installed. Nothing there. It is not listed separately in control panel - programs either. I'm sure just deleting the two incidences ( I think there are two due to one for the LCD and one for the VGA output ) will casue them to be reinstalled during a hardware search / reboot.

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 ! "Wonderman" wrote in message ... I have a Sony laptop ( 2 years old ).
