I am having problems with my sony vaio bgn-bx565b(2.1ghz pm, 1 gb ddr2,80 gb sata hd). The bios wont report the system model, What that translates to is that I cant install drivers for my laptop because the drivers from Sony check the laptop to see if the drivers are for the appropiate model. SInce the bios wont report the system model, and Windows gets the system model from the Bios and the sony installer checks Windows for the model, I cant install drivers. So i figure the only solution is to find a way to extract the files from the installer and take it from there. I have tried winrar without success. I need to do this for camera driver, the fingerprint reader driver, the memory stick controller, and the bluethooth driver. I have gotten the the graphics driver from intel since it uses the gma 915, the wireless from intel (intelpro wireless bg200) and the audio form realtek(hd audio codec). Sony wont help at all. DOes anyone know how to extract the files within the driver installer?
