Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

Hi, I own a Sony Vaio FZ11Z notebook and it came with Vista Home Premium 32bits pre-installed but as I am a Vista x64 fan I installed Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 and I am unable to find some of the drivers...Vaio Support sucks at this .
I have attached a screen shot of my Device Manager. The drivers that are missing are the ones for my Card Reader and mu Bluetooth Integrated Chip.
Can someone help me with a link or anything that can help me use this devices.
And another problem that I have is with my nVidia 8400GT driver that I can't find it on Vaio Support for x64, and the ones from nVidia homepage can't be installed in the normal way (it says that it can't find a nVidia card on my system), but I can install the driver from device manager after I select a driver for 8400GS or 8400SE .

Just a question: What is the use of your laptop?
I can understand that you are a fan of the 64 bit technology, but remember that most of the "old" laptops are not really fans of this technology and you cannot blame Sony for that.

If you absolutely need to run some specific 64 bit apps, i would agree, if not, remember that this particular VAIO is not specifically made to run a 64 bit OS.

Re: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

Well...I use this laptop as a desktop replacement for now because it's configuration (Core 2 Duo T7300 2.0GHz, 2GB DDR2, 256MB Video nVidia 8400GT, Blu-Ray Writer) is for multimedia use, so I watch HD movies on it, I play all the new games at reasonable quality and I can't say that I REALLY need x64 because I use common aplications but I don't really like x86 Vista because it's slower and more at risk to malware than it's 64bits brother.
So this are the main reasons for wanting x64 drivers, some of them are on the VAIO Support Home-Page but the rest aren't...

Re: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

Well I just switch a friends vaio from vista to xp with no official support for it by sony. The storage controller will be the chipset driver. Find out which chipset you have then download it from their website. The hardest one will be the audio if you don't have it working already. Took me 2 hours just to get the stigma del to work in XP.

Re: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

It's not the chipset that it needs a driver because I have already installed one and the audio driver for Vista x64 was on the same installation package as the x86 one so I have no sound problem. The only drivers that I am missing are the ones for my integrated bluetooth chip (Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba) and for my integrated card reader (Texas Instruments).

Re: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

The card reader should be recognized by Vista automatically, x64 and x86. The BlueTooth driver - if it will support the use of BROADCOM drivers, then grab these drivers: Broadcom Corporation - Bluetooth Software Download

Re: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

The Broadcom drivers don't work but I managed to find some BT drivers on the web from Toshiba so I'll try those.
I opened the INF that contains the x86 card reader drivers, that came with my laptop on Vista x86, and look what I found, maybe somebody recognizes something that can help me:

Vista Enterprise x64
 
 

Re: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ11Z Vista x64 drivers

I have an HP nw8440 that uses the TI SD Card Reader. The reader worked perfectly for XP and Vista Enterprise 32-bit, but would not read cards greater than 2GB in size after my switch to x64.

I was able to follow the procedure at Integrated Card Reader 4GB SD Success - Notebooks - PC Hardware to get my card reader working in Vista Enterprise x64.

I used version 2.0.0.8 of the drivers downloaded from HP Compaq nw8440 Mobile Workstation*-* Texas Instruments Media Card Reader Driver - HP Business Support Center.
