Why does my Sony Vaio laptop goes into standby while downloading?

Why does my Sony Vaio laptop goes into standby while downloading?
I have been downloading some movies off iTunes with my Sony Vaio. After some time, the laptop goes into standby and the downloads stops. What can I do so my movies can download overnight without stopping?

You could actually change the battery settings to stop this from happening... Click on the Battery Icon on the Task Bar -> Click More Power Options -> Click Change Settings (for the Power Option that is selected) - > and select the options as required.

Your laptop is probably set to go into standby mode after a certain amount of idle time. check your power settings.

What is the best battery backup solution for a Sony Vaio?

What is the best battery backup solution for a Sony Vaio?
I have a Sony Vaio that gets about 10 minutes of life when I am not plugged in. I need to use my computer a lot when I am not near any power source, and so I am wondering what the best solution is? Do I just need to buy another Sony battery as a backup? Is there such a thing as an external battery for a laptop?

Vaio model is VGN-C13G_H

How can I update my old Sony Vaio video driver to support OpenGL?
My Vaio model is VGN-C13G_H. I've tried going through the support websites from Sony that Google gives me but none of them seem to like where I live, the model of laptop or downright won't acknowledge that it is a Vaio in the first place.

Keeping your drivers updated can be a very arduous task. It’s just a pain in the neck trying to stay on top of every single update and then look for the correct driver that matches your hardware and system specifications. This is why I use software that cuts out the middle man and does everything for me. My favorite program is available at: http://www.driver-update-software.com

There are companies that provide driver solutions. The best one I found is: http://drivermd.com/update-drivers/ Their software is free to download and offers a free scan of your PC or laptop. It will then tell you all the drivers that are out of date, broken, or missing and allow you to update & fix those drivers once you register the software. It's a small price to pay I think $30 and then you get unlimited driver updates. I run it every few weeks to make sure my laptop drivers are up to date. Geez does it save me time & headaches trying to scour the Internet looking for every single driver. There are other companies out there, but they're no where near as good. They don't have as large of a driver database or they just send you to a link farm and you still have to scour their link farm looking for the right driver. Trust me don't bother with all that.

Are you trying to use the Mits as a computer monitor or watch movies through it? Hook up the Sony to the computer input on the Mitsubishi with a vga cable just like you would with a regular computer monitor. Then set tv input to VGA or whatever the Mitsubishi refers to it as.
