NVIDIA Gforce 8400M GS not support by Win7

[berfraiquin]

Hello since i upgraded my sony vaio from Vista to windows 7 I have problems .
When I start some programs I get the message "your device for mass storage is not installed
My machine can not find any drivers on the HDD or internet.
I need the driver for Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS.
The driver from the Nvidia site is not accepted by my sony vaio laptop.
VGN-NR31-Z/S

Hi

Why didnt you check that your hardware was windows 7 compatible in the first place....

Of course the nvidia driver from nvidia wont work, you have to get it from Sony support site and if they dont have one , then you will have to uninstall 7 and go back to Vista or XP (WHICHEVER YOU HAD BEFORE)

This all applies to most laptops of all makes by the way.... not just Sony


All the best Brett

That woul be incorrect getting the drivers for nvidia would be recommended over the 5 year old drivers most venders put out on their support site. If Sony does not allow this that would suck but in my case we work will Dell laptops and we rarely use manufacture drivers.
