I probably have it. The current active ftp backup should have it as well:

If you had tried other drivers before, you will probably have to uninstall them first. Back in the day we used utilities to scrub the remains of old drivers because of crap like this.

I have no idea what the sound driver name would be. You should be able to search google with the model number and a site named something like vaiodrivers will probably have the file name you need.

yeah..i reloaded windows but..its working now..but the display settings are still off..
also for audio I see this file YA512C2K.EXE
now i did try
ACD_YAM_613103152_2K
unfortunately all it gives me are .inf files and every time i try to load them thru hardware manager i keep getting the hardware manager saying it found a better driver instead of the one i chose for it

I figured it out, windows hides the extra display modes because it thinks it cant support 1024 x480.. still no luck with the soundcard tho
