Sounds like you need to reinstall your video driver.

What model Vaio do you have?
What operating system are you using - XP or Vista?
Are you using the original operating system?

Go to Device Manager and expand Display Adaptors. Right-Click on NVidia 6200 and choose uninstall. Reboot your Vaio and try to set the screen resolution.

If this does not work download the latest Sony driver.

The latest Sony Driver is NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 Graphics Driver Version 7.0.8.6 for Windows XP.

Download this driver from here: -

Go to Control Panel -> Display -> Settings

and set the correct screen resolution of 1280x800

If this is not available, reinstall the driver.

Hi,the highest the screen resolution,will go to is 1024 by 768,so i downloaded the driver,and when i doubled clicked on this to open,it asked me if i wanted to open all.This i done,then i went to device manager,but no display adapters were showing,so could not delete anything.Tryed opening this again,and then rebooted to see,if this would make any difference,but nothing happened.Still the same,and no display adapter is showing.Would i be better to give up,and to do a new restall,or would this not make any difference.

No,there is nothing showing for this,as i know it should be listed between Disk drives,and DVD/CD-ROM Drives,and there is nothing showing for this. Have check all and there is no item showing for display adapters,but i do know that it was listed,before the laptop crashed,but not after,i done a partial repair with windows disk.
