Help! Vaio VGN-FE11H

[Maltesers68]

Hello,

I'm trying to update my drivers for my Vaio VGN-FE11H (Laptop) BUT when I install the drivers they still say 2005.


I play World of warcraft and without the latest drivers, I can't play WoW without many errors!

(The errors are due to OUT OF DATE drivers)

So, could anyone link the website where I can download 2007 drivers for my Vaio VGN-FE11H laptop. Also here's my drivers so you can see that they're still 2005 AFTER installing them.

I think I'm doing something wrong when I install the drivers.

When I do Start>Control panel>Add/Remove Programs / Remove Nvidia drivers. Reboot PC. ok. Then when my PC reboots, the drivers reinstall on their own? So then I downloaded the driver using this method : 


 I do not get a "Found New Hardware Wizard"

Hi Maltesers68

You need to rename your current graphics driver file from C:\Drivers\Video or the C:\Drivers\Video2 to C:\Drivers\Video0 or C:\Drivers\Videoold..

However the way you've installed the dives will work equally as well..

Rename them to what?

Hmm let me start again. When I try to remove my Nvidia driver from Control panel>Add remove programs, it prompts me to restart my computer. So I do. Then, when my computer loads, it says 'Found new hardware Nvidia 7400 GeForce' So I go to my Control Panel>Add remove programs, and there it is Nvidia drivers. So how do I correctly remove my Nvidia drivers without them reinstalling everytime I reboot?

I think the new driver IS installed. It will install OK the way you have done it.

In Device Manager the Driver Version is shown as 8.3.2.0 which is the NEW Driver. This driver was released by Sony in March 2006 and was probably released by nVidia in December 2005.

Sony have not released any newer XP drivers since then.

What are the risks using beta drivers?

Very little as you can always go back to the old one. The only usual risk is that your card gets too hot but I would expect your card to be OK. This is the only way you are going to get a recent driver because Sony are always very slow to update them.
