Hi Samiem

Have you tried going into the Device Manager and deleting, not updating or removing the old driver?

OK have you checked you have the right drivers from the sony site

 

SONY Support Country Selection Page

 

hopefully when you read this it will be back up as I just got the page unavailable due to maintenance page,

what are you trying to run them in this might not be a driver problem but a codec issue, especially if you are getting sound without the picture.

On most pre built PC's nowadays you will find they have a recovery partition, this will contain an Image of the C drive, with Windows installed on it, and a number of tools to repair the windows installation.

 

if you use this partition as described in the second of the links in my previous post you will reset the C Drive to the same state it was in when it left the factory,

 

Their should be no need to Format or enter any Keys

That's because their never was, the first thing you should do with a new PC is read the manual on how to create a recovery CD/DVD and follow the instructions.

 

In your first post you said

If you did not use the recovery Disks or Console the product Key on the back of the machine won't work as its to a different copy of windows, also with pre built machines especially Laptops and netbooks they have drivers that are specific to the machine, and if you use a copy of windows that wasn't supplied with the machine you will have the problems you are describing.

 

what I suggest is when you boot the machine keep pressing the f10 key hopefully if you haven't damaged the recovery partition this will take you to the recovery partition where you should be able to follow the instructions I posted in the second link.

Sony VAIO Recovery

hello..

actually i searched a lot but didn't find "Sony vaio recovery".what shall i do now?

 

Samiem

[Match]

Did you try this way?

 

  Quote

When you see the VAIO logo at boot, press the F10 key several times

 

If so can you goto your disk management (Open start in search Box type disk management and press return)

 

your drive should have a 9 to 11Gb partition showing, that won't show in "My computer" if that's missing then when you formatted the Hard Drive you have probably damaged it. (screen shot appreciated).

 

and we will go from their :)

Reading through the thread, and considering you have used a non Sony install DVD to install Windows I think the chances of recovery are slim to none.

 

You have probably wiped out the recovery partition on your hard drive, and even if you left it in tact when you reinstalled it won't work anyway. Installing Windows on the drive will have changed the boot manager meaning your recovery program wouldn't work anyway.

 

The best way to deal with it is to contact Sony and order a new Recovery DVD set.

 

That way you will have the correct version for your computer and all of your drivers and software will work as they should.

hello everyone. Actually my function keys (Fn) are not working except for the few ones like keys for volume.... what shall i do? Is it due to drivers problem Please help......... Samiem..

[RandyL]

Keyboard issues are not a driver problem. As this is a laptop and considering your issues I'm inclined to agree with Tootech.

 

Get the recovery disks from Sony. If a complete reinstall does not solve the problem then there is a problem with the laptop itself.

 

Unfortunately laptop repair can be expensive but if there is a physical problem with it it's usually best to take it to a shop or replace it.
