Are you sure it is booting into 64-bit? A machine that old should not be doing that. You can check by clicking the Apple menu, then About this Mac, then click the More Info button. On the left window pane, choose Software. To the right, near the bottom, you will see 64-bit Kernel and Extensions. If 64-bit is enabled, it will say Yes. If it says No, you are booted in 32-bit and the Sony software should be working.

In the event that you are booting into 64-bit, all you need to do is hold down the 3 and 2 keys while the machine is booting (once the chime sounds), then release when the desktop appears.
