Did you reinstall it using the Vaio Recovery Partition or Sony Recovery Discs?  If so all the Vaio software should automatically be reinstalled.

If you have made a clean install using a commercially available version of Windows 7, then you will lose most of the Vaio programs and you will have to buy replacements as these cannot be downloaded.

Basic Drivers and Utility programs are available for download from Vaio Support

What model Vaio do you have?

Hi I've got Vaio Aw 11S - Model PCG-8131M I've have made clean install as bought original windows 7 professional versional, everything is working brilliantly as to be honest i wasn't a fan of windows vista as at times it crashed so i've opted to change to a better windows version. is it possible at least to recover some of the programmes or at least multimedia software in order for me to use again all vaio components and staff, or at least if i have to purchase them can you at least show me which versions and if possible show me the links.

your fast response will be much appreciated.

Hi ascibbo and welcome.

You will find the available downloads on the support website for your model here: -

If it is not available there, then it is not available for download.
