Renesas Update

[KBL]

This is so annoying, everytime I do it, same result, even after uninstalling and removing all references from the registry.

Hi,

Just asked about this.

It seems that with some versions of the driver an upgrade won't work.

You'll need to remove the driver - from device manager ensuring that you check the "Delete the driver software for this device" box. Then install the newer driver and all should be well.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

I have tried that a few times, with the same result.

I have noticed something that I think may be causing the problem though....

The driver that the new update is trying to replace is version 2.01.032 replaced with 2.1.36.0.
However, I have noticed that the current driver installed is 2.0.32.0. I therefore assume that as the expected driver is not present it is not completely the correct update.

I will now try to update 2.0.32.0 with 2.01.032 before trying the final update.

Fingers crossed.

Well this is puzzling, I can't find any reference to 2.01.032 online really.

Nope, I can't find v2.01.032 anywhere. Weird.

I have emailed Renesas Europe with a link to this thread.
Fingers crossed.

No reply from Renesas Europe yet, but I also contacted Sony, who have just replied..

Thank you for contacting Sony. We acknowledge that you would like to update your VAIO USB drivers but you cannot locate them.

The only available USB driver edition for your VAIO can be downloaded from the link below:

http://www.sony.ie/support/en/produc...1242-0042_6178

It is version 2.0.32.0, the other mentioned versions seems to be not available for this VAIO. So we would like to know if these are being installed by windows updates.

Um, are they trying to tell me that the Renesas USB on my 1 year old Vaio can not handle any further updates to the USB 3.0 driver??
