This model is old enough that Sony doesn't list as a supported product for Vista. Therefore, there's no driver.

1. Try the 4xx drivers at http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=NWE405&upd_id=1936&os_group_id=13

2. If that doesn't work, try the same making sure to run both install and the installed version in XP compatibility mode.

I wanted a driver, my comp cannnot reecognize my walkman , dint want a software for puting songs i have sonicstage

If that's your only problem then it's not a problem AFAIK.

Maybe someone with experience of 4xx units will comment. But if you cannot recognize it with windows, probably there is nothing to be done.

[THIS SUCKS]

cant he just download all the standard drivers from the download section. its not in there? maybe he can use the windows 7 drivers?

I'm not even sure a driver is required at all. But if there is one, it should probably come from the files SonyNWUS.* (* = INF, CAT)

The contents of SonyNWUS.INf are quite short:

If you are able, check the enumerated VID/PID of the connected unit in Device Manager. What is it? VID should be 054C (Sony) and PID, what is that? If it's 1C3 then the file (which should be part of your Sonic Stage install) should be the right one.

I also noticed, looking through the manual, there's an option to choose LOW (100mA) or HIGH (500mA) power from USB connector, by reconfiguring the walkman. The comment says that if having trouble with data transfer, use the LOW setting.
