im a sony vaio pcg-u1 user though

SONY VAIO FE 38GP user here

I'm using VAIO PCG-F36. Love it very much from the day I bought it.

VAIO VGN-S48GP user here...

im the figuring how to categorise out our member's list ;o

anyway if any of you has some useful info about vaio, post them up and i will add it to the first post [:

anyway i have to drive home from my in-laws now. be back later

wat r de advantages of Vaio's over other notebooks... adding to the fact that Vaio's r more expensive compared to other brands...

you made your own point

SZ38GP newbie here. Questions:

1) Is it recommended to create backup DVDs?
2) WinDVD has region lock and will not allow region change after a few uses. Any recommendations for this!?
3) As this is my first SONY lappie, is transferring pictures from my T50 camera a matter of plugging in the memory stick duo; or do I need to install drivers etc. Same with my W800 phone... can I just plug in the MS Duo?
4) As the battery is Li-Ion, I have the impression that there are no memory effects(?). Do I need to fully charge and discharge for the first few times?

1. theres a hidden partition for restoring your vaio, if u dont mess with that partition then i dont think u need to make backup DVD's
2. use windows media player or vaio zone [:
3. just shuve your ms duo to the mspd slot in your vaio [:
4. no u dont need to discharge, infact a full discharge may reduce the battery life span

Hi ezinger,
THANKS!!!

1) Regarding the hidden partition, what happens if Windows doesnt even boot. How to restore then? My previous lappie, a Compaq crashed twice and lucky for the restore CD, I managed to get it up and running again.
2) Oh... windows media player can play dvd liao arr?
3) COOL
4) COOL!!!

if your vaio fails to boot then your in trouble =P

so i think you better create back up DVD's with the VAIO recovery tool. so you can boot from the DVD if your system doesnt boot

SONY VAIO FE 38GP user here ....

why is the old thread closed ?

btw i got a problem wit the lappie ... does sony have clicking problem? I am using the VAIO mouse and i realised that the mouse is seriously laggy... same when i use the mouse pad ...

normally when i double click a program on my toshiba, the program automatically opens ... but as for this VAIO ... it will juz highlight the icon and wont open .... then have to click a few times ... this is quite frustrating ... anybody is having this problem?

i've tried changing the mouse setting, but doesnt make a diffrence .. its already on fast....

because the newer thread is better and different from the older thread [:

are you talking about the sony mouse or the touch pad?

I finally got around today to play with my SZ38. Spent the whole morning updating softwares etc. I SERIOUSLY hate Norton Antivirus... too messy with so much updates to go through.

I'm facing a problem now. Most if not all of my applications (Sonicstage and gracenote, Windows Media Player, Adobe etc) all fails to connect to the internet for registration etc... whereas, here I am surfing on IE. Whats going on?! The error is internet connection could not be found but I'm online and can surf using IE.

Hope someone can help. Is it something to do with my antivirus? Cause Sonicstage says Failed to open socket... what the hell does that mean!?

I've upgraded my Vaio to Vista Home Premium and have restored most of the functionality of the Sony-specific apps.

Would still like to get hold of the Sony Vista Upgrade DVD though....

If you have it - I'd be grateful for a pm....

its because norton internet security is restricting internet access from those applicatoins. my suggestion is that you uninstalled norton because its such a piece of crap and install kaspersky, f-secure or nod32. works far better than norton.

how did u upgrade your vaio without the dvd?

ipsoft isnt sending out any vaio upgrade dvd until end of this month of mid of march.

Hey thanks ezinger!! I knew Norton was the culprit. ANyway, after a reboot and installing some (well, alot!) of updates, its all running smoothly now. Thanks for the suggestions for the antivirus. How does those compare to a free one like say AVG?

I upgraded by buying a Vista Home Premium OEM disc at LowYat.

And installed the available Vista updates over at the Sony Vaio support website with some help from the notebookreviews forums.

well google it [: here's one for ya : http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
i havent tried bit defender so i dare not say its the ultimate anti-virus software but i might give it a try someday.

oh ok. there is still missing drivers right? i was at one utama this evening and saw sz48 on display. so i click on the computer and notice the processor and ram information wasnt shown and there were no rating. wtf?
