Hi,

I checked the information and found that the computer does not qualify for a Windows 7 Upgrade from Sony. But as we have tried, Windows Vista drivers work with Windows 7 as the core for both the OS is same. I suggest that you download install Memory Card driver for Windows Vista from the below link to resolve the issue with the SD Card. I have also provided the link to download Sony Shared Library which you should install first.

SD card not recognized


What happens when you tried to plug-in SD card to the computer?


Have you made any recent changes to the computer prior to the issue?


To make the SDHC be recognized by the computer, we need to ensure that the card reader works in Windows 7 first. Please check if the card reader is recognized properly by the computer and you have installed the driver for it.


Meanwhile, you can plug some other storage cards to the card reader and see how it works.


I would suggest you to refer the link below
A Secure Digital (SD) card may not be recognized on a Windows 7 based computer.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981642


Uninstall all the Generic USB drivers and reinstall.


1. Open Device Manager.

2. In "Disk Drives" dropdown, uninstall the "Generic SD/MMC USB device" drive.

3. Restart computer.

4. Insert SDHC card.




Hope this helps.

Hi, I have installed win7 for my sony vaio fs660 and after 3 days of google drivers search i still luck the display adapter wrong :-( it is nvidia gf 6200 but the os see it as a standart vga adapter...

You're having problems with this driver because Windows 7 is not officially supported on your Sony Vaio. There's a way around this however.

1. Go here for Windows 7 32 bit video card driver for your computer: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-32bit-260.99-whql-driver.html

Or go here for Windows 7 64 bit video card driver for your computer: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-266.58-whql-driver.html

2. Select "Download".

3. Install the video card drivers. Restart computer when asked.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa. Please post back if you have any difficulties.

After upgradin to windows 7 the SD card slot stoped working. I have an sony vaio vgn-cr240e

You can go to Sony's Support site to make sure you have to download the most recent driver for the card reader. However, sometimes new drivers aren't being created for Windows 7 for older hardware. One the support site select your OS and see what comes up. There are also sometimes drivers released for 32bit, but not 64 where workarounds need to be implemented in order to get them to work, like installing a 32bit driver in compatibility mode.

Hope this helps

Sony webcam no longer works with windows 7

1. The drivers for this Web camera may not be developed for Windows 7 64 bit by the manufacturer.
You will either have to purchase a new camera to be compatible with Windows 7 or Vista 64.
This is also true for your SD card reader.

FROM WHERE CAN I GET WIN.7 DRIVERS FOR SONY VAIO VGN-N250E

As if now windows 7 drivers are not available but you dont have to worry because Basic system functionality should be automatically enabled with the drivers included within the Windows 7 operating system.
However, if one of the drivers that came with the operating system does not work with your system, you can try installing the Windows Vista version of the driver provided by Sony for your model. Many of the Windows Vista drivers are compatible with Windows 7 based on current testing. Make sure you choose the bit version (32-bit or 64-bit) that matches your version of Windows 7.

"Windows 7 will come to the table, from the get-go, with support for all Vista-certified drivers. Compatibility with devices designed for Vista ensures that users will have a seamless upgrade/migration experience." (taken from softopedia.com)

This means that all the "vista compatible drivers" should work on win7 without any problems.
