How can I disable the sony vaio start up sound?
How can I disable the sony vaio start up sound? Not the windows start up, but the actual start up / power on sound / jingle that is the first thing you hear when you turn on a vaio.

control panel -> sounds and audio devices then goto sounds and check in program events whether your sony vaio sound is there or not if it there then remove it... tht;s all for more info : kamaraj_84@yahoo.com ( in yahoo messenger )

If you go to control panel -> classic view then select the "Vaio Control centre" or similar. there will be an option in there to turn the startup sound off, as well as lots of other settings for your vaio.

How long does your Sony Vaio battery last?

How long does your Sony Vaio battery last?
I am wondering how long is your battery life for the Sony Vaio. Mine is terrible compared to what it is advertised to get. It is supposed to get 4 hours, but mine only get two hours in the Power Saver mode. If any of you VAIO owners wants to share some of your tips I would appreciate it. I just got this Sony VAIO NW240F a month ago, and the battery life has always been like this.

How do i get my Sony Vaio laptop to autodim when not in use on battery?

How do i get my Sony Vaio laptop to autodim when not in use on battery? Is there a program i can download?
It might be called smart dimmer or something, but i've seen other laptops (inc Macs) which dim automatically after a period of time when not touched. This would be great for conserving battery - how do i get it on my Sony Vaio? Can i download the software somewhere? I'm running Vista Home Premium. Thanks!

I am not sure if Sony includes any power management software, but Vista also has a Power Options control panel.

> Go to the Control Panel > Power Options > "Change plan settings" > "Change Advanced power settings" > Expand +Display tree > Expand +Dim display after > Change to your liking. > Apply & OK Hope I have helped, it may not be absolutely accurate, as I am running Windows 7.
