Sony Vaio VGN FS315B and Windows 7 Fn probs

[rumelkhan]

HI,

I have just installed Win7 and now I cannot find the drivers for the wireless card. It does not even appear on Device Manager.

I have connected it directly to the router via ethernet but this is not ideal.

I am on the http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/ website but it keeps hanging.

Really need to sort this out asap.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers

You could try the Windows feature DCCW.EXE.

Type DCCW in the Search Box and run the screen calibration tool - this will allow adjustment of gamma, brightness, contrast, colour balance and to tune your text.

If anyone knows of how to resolve the brightness issues, i would pay £5 via paypal!

Not much, but enough for a beer!

We have seen a few compatibility problems with Corsair modules in the past.

Most of us here use Crucial, who give a compatibility guarantee.  They may be a little more expensive, but we have never had any problems: -

Hi all,

I am having the same problem with my Vaio VPCF13Z1E.

I have tried both a migration from Windows 7 to Windows 8 plus a clen install of Windows 8. I have also upgraded the Intel PROSet/Wireless driver as recomended  here: http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-033860.htm?wapkw=wireless+windows+8

Despite all this the wireless on/ff switch remains greyed-out.

Has anyone had a simiar problem and more to the point know how to fix the issue?

Many thanks.
