the link is to drivers for win 7 which i think is for your laptop, although it says they are for 64 bit o/s you can try them......Sony VAIO E Series SVE14116FXB drivers for Windows 7 64-bit | Drivers Download (http://www.filefobia.com/sony-vaio-e-series-sve14116fxb-drivers-for-windows-7-64-bit/)

i have recently reloaded a sony viao laptop which was running win7 64 bit to a 32bit version and used the drivers for the 64 bit which installed ok.
start by installing the wifi driver then you will have internet connection thats the last download on the page if that installs ok then check device manager as which other drivers are needed they will all be marked with a yellow asterisk.
if its the wrong driver for the hard ware post the exact model number and i will see if i can find the drivers this you will find on the uderside of the laptop.
