Sony Vaio VPCM126AG and Intel GMA 3150

Hi Everyone,

I own a Sony Vaio VPCM126AG netbook which has got Intel GMA 3150 on board graphics. My netbook was having Windows 7 starter edition. Recently, a windows update updated my graphics driver after which the netbook goes to black screen just after the windows login screen. I guess that's the time the graphics drivers comes into picture?

I tried updating old as well as new drivers from both Intel and Sony support but none works.

Please help as I'm stuck with this!

Thanks,

Sthitodhi

adding to this:

I don't see the black screen problem if I boot into safe mode, therefore, it works well with generic VGA drivers.

Is there any way to go back to the original drivers? There is no option for system repair or system restore for me as I formatted my machine and re-installed windows 7, but problem remains same.
