Hi,
I've recently reformatted a Sony VAIO PCG-7H1M model laptop with Windows XP. However, the network drivers did not load at installation time. I've searched everywhere for a driver download but can't seem to locate it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Justin
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Justin,
The reason you can't find the drivers is that you are quoting an invalid model. You are quoting a chassis type which can be shared by several models. If you look on the screen surround you will find the correct model - it will be something like VGN-FE11H.
When you have found the correct model type, you can find the drivers on the support pages. Here is the Original Drivers Package download for the VGN-FE11H: -

Download the .ZIP file and right-click on it. Choose 'Extract All' and extract to a folder you can find (like C:\Drivers). You will find the Ethernet and Wireless Network Drivers in the extracted files.
