No support for x64

Hello, i am very frustrated with Sony.
I have update my Sony Vaio AR-21S to Win7 64bit and i miss lots of drivers.
Not only Sony has discontinued the whole AR series but it does not provide a single
software update!
I have been trying to find a graphics video driver for my laptop and nothing seems to work.
I tested all the drivers on the support page, on the nvidia sites and still nothing.
I got error msgs that is not supported.
I even tryied tweakforce and laptopvideo2go pages (which they worked with 32bit)
but now i a stuck. Sony's software is crapp. I had win7 32bit before and i got BSOD's all the time for Driver_Power_state_failures.
No i put 64bit on it for stabillity and i got drivers problems.
I have tryied Driver Checker and got only updates for the chipset!
Pls some responsible Sony guy respond to my post that what should i do.
Thanks in advance.

This is a user forum - Sony will not respond here - but if they did they would say that they do not support 64-bit systems on your model and if you choose to install an unsupported system then you must search out the required drivers yourself. You are on your own.

You have the same nVidia graphics as the AR31S (Go 7600 GT) so there is an unofficial Sony driver available. Download : EP0000146244.zip from here:

I think you need to accept that Sony will not support 64-bit Windows 7 on the AR21S but if you list what you are still looking for perhaps someone here can help.
