How can Windows XP OEM be restored on a Sony Vaio?
It's a Sony Vaio desktop. It didn't include any OEM disks. My brother made some kind of restore dvd but it isn't bootable and he installed linux on the hard drive deleting all windows partitions. What can I do?

Sony Viao came with the software to create backup disks. They have a preinstalled utility to copy a full windows OEM installation on to ~10 disks. I guess you did not do this ( me neither...). The best bet would be to contact Sony Vaio support

Sony Vaio laptop (VGN-CR410E)
Does anybody else have problems with Sony Vaio laptops?
I own a Sony Vaio laptop (VGN-CR410E) and lately it has been giving me nothing but trouble. It is getting very hot, and it will randomly shut down. Also, the CPU usage is at or near 100% most of the time when I have nothing running. I go back to school in a few weeks, and all of this worries me. Is anyone else is having this issue, and how can I fix it without having to take it to the store, or ship it out?

I have a Sony Vaio and it works perfectly fine. How old is yours? Mine is a little over a year old and I haven't had any trouble.

A few things can be done to fix the problem. First off, it's a well known fact that laptops in general tend to have more over heating problems than desktops. One way to alleviate the severity of this problem is to go to your nearest bestbuy and buy a can of compressed air. Blow the air through the air vents in your laptop. This will clear out the dust that's accumulated in your air vents and help your laptop better cool itself. You can also buy a cooling pad for your laptop. Just lowering the heat will help your computer's performance (heat is your computers worst enemy). The shutdowns are most likely a product of overheating (when a computer gets too hot to function, it saves itself by powering down to avoid physical damage). As for the CPU usage, you should press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to bring up the task manager. Click the Processes tab and look under the CPU section. The numbers usually should be either 00 or lower numbers that fluctuate. The ones that are really high (consistently above 10) are the reasons that you are having 100% cpu taken up. End those processes and you'll find your computer runs much faster. The only thing that should be consistently high is "Idle Processes".

I have a sony vaio laptop and I never have had that kind of cpu problem but it does get hot when I play games. Are you covering the vents on the side of your laptop?

Trade it for $0.00? Of course not. I don't think you can trade for a newer model in any way.

Yes, Sony does have a trade-in program, it's not the best deal, but it's worth checking out: http://b2b.sony.com/documents/category/FINAL_TradeInFlyer_June7.pdf

it may have virus or it does not have much capacity. run an antivirus software and then see. or first check the RAM of your laptop

Sadly, Sony Vaio laptops are not the most robust machines ever, I am quite impressed it has survived that long at all. I have found the construction to be somewhat on the shoddy side. However, if the hardware is still okay for you, there are a few things you can do to revitalize your computer. Firstly, Defrag is not one-size-fits-all fix for a slow computer. If your computer is on the internet, it is very important that you have an up-to-date virus scanner and spyware scanner. Both virus's and spyware can cause a slow computer. If you regularly download software, especially from file sharing sites, there is a strong chance you have installed more than you had bargained for. A lot of so called "free" software includes a lot in the installer that you didn't ask for, which runs in the background and causes your computer to slow down. It is also important that you keep windows up to date. Make sure you make time to scan for updates and install them on a regular basis. Finally, windows is notoriously bad for keeping track of it's DLLs and Registry. If you have installed/uninstalled a lot of software it is likely these things are a mess. The simplest answer would be to back up any important documents (pictures, music, etc) and start again from scratch. If you can, try a linux distribution, for a newcomer, i would recommend ubuntu, it is free and user friendly. You can download it legally and freely at http://www.ubuntu.com/ Linux will get rid of any problems relating to DLLs, Registry and Virus/Spyware. And most of your stuff will work fine. It tends to work really well on older systems as well, and will feel much quicker on your old computer. If you have a lot of windows software you need, I still recommend starting from scratch. Be very selective with what you install. If you are downloading free software, make sure you check google to see if it is known to install spyware/adware/malicious software, and after installing anything scan your computer for virus's and spyware, as well as making sure to schedule regular scans.

The reason the computer gets slow is due to the registry files becoming corrupted, or messed up, in simple terms. These files tell the computer or laptop how to operate the software installed on the system. If any of these files get messed up, the computer is not sure what to do and this will really slow down the computer. The other scenario is where you download other software, screensavers, pictures, videos, or even music, and this will somehow change the settings on a registry file. When this happens, the original program that needs that file now has the wrong instructions in it. So, it will cause the computer to run slow, or in a worse case, crash. You can speed up your computer with a thorough analysis and repair of your registry. The registry Scan will identify corrupt files, paths,and registry keys causing your computer to have errors and run slow.Go to http://www.registry-bot.com to download registry bot.It is the most advanced and comprehensive registry repair product on the market.It will speed up your computer and make windows startup faster. http://www.registry-bot.com free download Registry Bot.
