do you have the drivers installed? if this doesnt help email me and i can help
2 :
Your speakers or your audio adapter. If the audio adapter go to sony and see if they have drivers. Also if this is XP did you do the SP2 update, need that for many plug and play devices, not to mention the security.
3 :
I think you mean your soundcard haven't been recognized. Go to control panel, system, hardware profile, right click on sound card and check the driver, or uninstall it, restart your computer, it may recognize it, still didn't works, go to sony vaio website, download new driver for your sound card (Not speaker)

Sony Vaio which has a wireless chip
I bought a Sony Vaio which has a wireless chip but I am having problems connecting to my Netgear router, Help?
The Vaio has Vista. I have a Dell laptop that I have a wireless Netgear card for. I shouldn't have to switch that to the Sony right? It should connect automatically. I am IT illiterate, Please Help! I don't know if i havee WEP? How do I check that out? lol

Do you have WEP - basically a password set up on your router when you set it up? If you do, you need to add the settings to your Sony. If it is open and anyone should access, then check you wireless connection on and add a profile in the SONY to look for the router.
2 :
the wireless connector should come with a program, and if it doesnt simply go to start>control panel>click on connnections>then internet connections> then search for ur chip there> and then right click and search for signals. now netgear routers are very cheap and overheat. make sure its cool and that u have it setup. it reallly isnt necesary for the setup but make sure the cables are connected and that its cool. and that;s about it. trust me I have netgear and viao laptop too lol :-) what a coincidence.
3 :
One of the icons in the bottom right corner should be a red x with 2 little computers. click that and click connect to network. Find your network on the following list (make sure your wlan switch is on) if it prompts you for a wep code you must find it on the software that [probably] came with your router. Or it is in the instruction manual. Although, it may not prompt you at all and connect you right away. If this is so, your network is not secure and you may want to look into that. [nice choice on the laptop btw. but i went linksys with my router : ) ]

Hi I would recommend using a normal DVD just in case your drive is not compatible. The recovery fits on 1 standard DVD. Just go to the start menu and open VAIO recovery console and follow the directions. Make sure yourt laptop is plugged into AC power. You will have do back up all of your personal files! The recovery CD restores the computer to brand new like the day you got it. Go through the "Documents and Settings" folder for personal files, music, movies, pictures, etc. Check the download directories of any programs you frequently use for downloading files. Check the directories of any photo editing software you use. Remember to backup any files on the desktop. It's also good to follow up with searches on the C:\ drive for .doc, .xls, .mp3, .jpg, etc to make sure you got everything Tip: You can also run the System Recovery directly off the hard drive (after you have backed up all your files onto a cd/dvd/external HD) When you turn on the computer and see the "VAIO" animation press F10 to open it. Remember, the recovery is not reversible! Once you start it you cannot interrupt it. Never delete the partition on your hard drive either!

You can go to the recovery console or as your computer boot, tap F10 several time and it will take you to the recovery console and the option to create recovery disc. Just follow the instructions carefully. It will also tell you what kind of disc you can use. Preferably prepare 2 DVDs,(normal DVD_) If you will just create a recovery disc, no need to back up your files. But if you will reformat your hard drive, you got to back up your important files.

I agree with everybodt else but just want to summerise sometimes it takes 3 or 4 discs, load up the software to find out how many discs it takes. Also it normally on dvd-r not rewriteable so check it all out first or call 0207 365 2947 wait ofr the options and press 3 and that gets you through to sony technical support
