*** AW - x64 Vista & Win7 Drivers and Utilities ***

[Mujja]

Decided to redo the first post to keep it tidy. The links for the old files are below but there is no need to download them.


Driver and Utilites below are from VAIO FTP, US/EU VAIO Support and Intel Download Center. VAIO don't always post the same versions on their EU and US sites and new drivers aren't listed for older models even though they are compatiable. Sony are also slow to make the latest Intel drivers available. All drivers have been extracted to bypass the model version check, usually found on drivers from the US site.


How to Install

Most of the folders only contain the driver and *.inf files. I prefer to install drivers this way to prevent the installation of software I'll never use.

• To install extract the archive to a folder, e.g C:\drivers.
• Open Device Manager and right click through each device selecting "Update Driver Software". See pic Install_Step_1.jpg
• Select "Browse my computer for driver software". See pic Install_Step_2.jpg
• Browse to C:\Drivers and make sure "Include subfolders" is checked and click Next. See pic Install_Step_3.jpg

If an updated driver is found it will be installed. Don't worry if an updated driver isn't found. Some devices don't need updates.

Thanks for pulling this info together. I'm unable to open the three zip archives listed above unfortunately.

Ian

Ian, I created the zip archive using 7-zip (freeware). You should be able to extract the files using winrar, winzip or 7-zip.

Make sure all 3 files are in the same folder and select the first file.

Which app are you using to extract and what error message do you get?

[konnexion]

Have tried 7-zip successfully on the third archive but it fails on the first, I'm going to try downloading again, will let you know

[Mujja]

You need to start on the fist file, .001.
It's one archive split into 3 parts.

[konnexion]

The error in 7-zip iz

Can not open file" vaio_aw_x64_drivers__utils.zip.001" as archive

[Mujja]

Uploading the files again. this time as a 7-zip archive.
I might not get time to post the links until I get home, finish work in 10 mins.

Over 10 people have downloaded the files now. Would like to hear from others if the archive is corrupt.

[aleicgrant]

still getting errors on file 2 and 3

[aleicgrant]

having problems getting these last two items installed. Any ideas. Intel Matrix storage did not do the trick.

You're not supposed to open these. Open the first one and it extracts the contents of all three zip folders into one folder automatically. For the second set of programs look in the "Sony Notebook Utilities (1.0)" folder in the extracted folder.
