Running Windows 8.1 Preview x64. I was attempting to update my graphics drivers on my Vaio SE2C5E using those provided here. Things were already a bit messed up before hand, with the switchable graphics ability randomly disappearing one day. Thinking that I was uninstalling the existing drivers I ran a now unsupported tool available on that site, apparently this was not the case and I honestly don't know what running that program did. At this point I thought I would just try to uninstall the card from device manager and start from there reinstalling. It seems however that I uninstalled the standard included windows graphics driver, so my card now only says 'Microsoft Basic Display Driver'. Catalyst install manager does not recognize the card anymore so won't install the driver. No options within device manager allow me to upgrade to a proper driver. No switchable functionality. The computer is useable at least.
Below is the output from a small program called chat_noir, used on the previously linked leshcatlabs website to help trouble shoot. Any help would be appreciated.
