Graphics card not recognised

bellaruby — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:42:49 GMT

Hi I have a Vaio LT1S,

I have just upgraded from vista home prem to win 7 home prem

Now it wont play blu ray ,dvd or live tv

Win media centre wont play dvd or tv

Windvdbd for vaio wont play blu ray

I have just checked my window experience score and the graphics memory is not dtected,the graphics scre is 1.0!

Everything worked before the upgrade.

maybe the best upgrade would be to an IMAC!

Have you tried the obvious and tried reinstalling the Video Driver? Some nVidia drivers will not pass the upgrade test.

You can find the original driver in the list here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=en_GB&m=VGC-LT1S

Or - perhaps a better move - install a more up to date driver here: -

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers/vista/176.37

Only the version 176.37 will install on your Vaio - don't try any others from the site unless you are familiar with modifying .inf files.

Come back if this does not work.

Are you using internet explorer 5?

It looks like the file may not have downloaded properly.
I would save it to a specific location like 'Desktop' and try running again.

I have just downloaded it using Firefox browser.
The file is a zip file which needs to be openened with winrar, winzip etc.
The extracted folder contained lots of files...I selected setup.exe and it
started to run the application fine.

Try right clicking the zip file and see what the options are for extracting the folder
from the zip file.
