i have downloaded the Graphics Driver (Nvidia) 8.15.11.8640-64bit-EP0000208510.exe i tried to extract it but no rezult then i run the installer and it gives me that it can not find any device then i went to temp file and coy all files there and i made the change to inf file and mode.txt and then run the exe and it reconise my card but with error that windows can not verify the publisher and i select to continue and it installed without any problems....

Get the file from my link. Once you edit any digitally signed inf file, it loses it's digital certificate and so Windows promps about installing unsigned driver.

just follow the instructions that radiofreeeurope inducate in his thread(AR SERIES - VISTA & XP CLEAN INSTALL & DUAL BOOT GUIDE (With Fully Working Sony Functions)) and when you install graphic driver use this one it is the best:
for 32bit

I'm having some issues on getting a video driver running on an VGNAR730E that belongs to a friend of mine. I'm trying the fix at the top of the page to see if that gets me anywhere. If that doesn't work, does anyone else have any suggestions?

[samozen]

go to this link it's for VGNAR730E
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu...?mdl=VGNAR730E
there you should find all drivers

Hi, I am happy we have an active thread for Sony vaio vgn-ar, I have 730e/b, I love it, but it seems the processor is my bottleneck...
has anyone tried putting a x7900 on it? or improving t8100?
is t8100 o/c able on this mobo?
I loves my sony, and I never had a graphics issue like stated here, I even did o/c my gpu, and it was stable to 15%.
