AR51SU: VGA doesnt seem to work under VISTA

Maybe someone had that problem already: on my SONY AR51SU the VGA output doesnt work as it should. I tested it with two different Beamers and with two external monitors but the VGA plug doesnt seem to output anything.
My system is the standard VISTA Ultimate that came with the AR51SU. NVIDIA was updated to the latest version using Vaio Update. The system was upgraded to 4 Gig RAM but it runs with VISTA ULTIMATE 32Bit (so 3 Gig are visible).

Whenever I plug in a VGA cable the screen freezes and the system crashes after a while. Pressing Fn F7 doest do anything and also display properties from VISTA doesnt help here much.


If someone has a clue how to fix that.. I would really appreciate any help.

Kind regards,

Sören

Ok I fixed that: simple solution: dont install the VAIO NVIDIA update for the VR51SU, ONLY install the Microsoft VISTA NVIDIA 8600 update. That made it.
