QUOTE(Cheapodude @ Dec 14 2008, 01:52 AM) Doing the recovery is best using DVDR... need 3 disk... as for the partition.. just search in Google "partition using vista". Yea, i have the ahem version too, wondering what to do with this.Didn't get the Office pack though.. though I could easily get the 'ahem' version   I don't have DVDR at the moment, so i was wondering whether can use external hdd. |

QUOTE(Cheapodude @ Dec 14 2008, 12:52 PM) Not sure.... I guess it could. Just go to the VAIO Recovery Center install inside your laptop before doing major changes like installing & partitioning Alright, doing that now but i bought some DVD-R's. Any way to transfer data from one laptop to another by firewire? I'm lazy to copy in the external hdd.  |

QUOTE(davidmak @ Jan 6 2009, 09:46 PM) The screen flickering during startup and shutdown especially entering/exiting the welcome and shut down screen could be due to graphics driver problem. I have this problem on my Vaio SR. My desktop PC using ATI 4850 however did not have this problem after I updated the driver. So I think this could be the issue. I've seen pretty a lot of laptops with this flickering issue but this is nothing serious to be honest. Same problem on my SR26.Btw, anyone registered their Vaio with Sony Style? After filling up the details, it shows server error. I tried this many times over the last one week but there has not been any difference. |

QUOTE(Perfect-Stranger @ Jan 7 2009, 09:28 PM) Sometimes it's all because of their website down, well, i would recommend you to call Sony Style about it. Actually i took 2 years extended warranty too, so i have no idea where they are going to slot in the extra 3 months. Yup, i think i will call them since i need to collect my extended warranty form too.Meaning because you might lose the 3 months extended warranty simply because you can't register your product through online. |

QUOTE(Perfect-Stranger @ Jan 7 2009, 09:48 PM) You pay RM360 extra for the 2 years extended warranty ? haha, the reason i took extended warranty is because of my past experience with Toshiba. When it was 2 years +, the hdd gave problem and i got it changed for free. There were some minor problems too a couple of times but i got it repaired for free and it was serviced and cleaned each time Rich fellow detected. Well, according to my previous working experiences in Sony Style, 3 months warranty will still be added together with the 2 years extended warranty that you paid for it which means 1 year official warranty + 2 years extended warranty + 3 months extra warranty (reward for register through online) Total up together would be 3 years and 3 months. Weirdo. . All thanks to the extended 2 yrs warranty but i paid RM700 in 2005. I was a noob that time and the salesperson advised me to take it.For Sony, Rm360 is for 1yr i think, Rm430 is for 2 years. Not weirdo, precaution |

QUOTE(Perfect-Stranger @ Jan 7 2009, 11:10 PM) Lol, credit goes to Toshiba. Well, i have to love it for the price i paid.  Ops, my wrong, greater amount, RM430 Are you sure you gonna use it and love it for the next 3 years ?  Anyway, my mum is using the Vaio so it should be fine.I'm still using the Toshiba. Super solid Btw, i just noticed that the extra 3 months warranty need to register within 7 days of purchase. I bought it during the pc fair and the best part is the dealers are suppose to fill the extended warranty and stamp it. They have not filled a thing. Need to call them and clarify this matter plus collect the extended warranty and one of my pending free gift. |

QUOTE(Perfect-Stranger @ Jan 7 2009, 11:37 PM) Yea, nice one, love it for the price you paid. If bravia LCD Tv as the free gift, i will be the happiest person Wondering what can i do with RM430 Yeap, you need to register that product within 7 days after your purchased. Well, it happens all the time that dealer's negligence for not doing their part to guide customer the right path to register for the extended warranty. Freebies ? SonyBravia LCD Tv ? No, just some Sony headset coz no stock during PC fair. Need to go to Sony Center lowyat since i bought from them in the Pc Fair. |

I just called Sony Center lowyat. They asked me to bring over the receipt for the extended warranty. About the 3 months warranty, he says that must register within a week of purchase. If not, can't
Should i just give sony customer service a call and say that i was not informed of it plus say i've been trying for sometime but always server error? Added on January 8, 2009, 11:41 amGuys, i called the customer service and said i've been trying for 3 weeks but i could not register. I still got the 3 months warranty.

QUOTE(Perfect-Stranger @ Jan 8 2009, 08:22 PM) Wow, Nice one I'm kinda confused now. I got the extended warranty today. It seems they put two years extra from the date of purchase. When i called Sony that day to register, they put 1 year + 3 months warranty in my sony style account but i did not mention anything about the extended warranty because i haven't filled the form. Now i'm a little confused whether the 3 months is together with the extended warranty period. There you go, another 3 months warranty.  Anyone have any idea on this?

QUOTE(cherryfrut @ Mar 8 2009, 10:46 AM) hihi.. im not sure this is the right place to enquire bout this.. cant think of anywhere else for now. I'm using a 3 months old SR26 too. No problem so far. You might have installed something that is conflicting with the IE and MSN plus. Try to uninstall some things and test. Hope it helps. i posted here b4 regarding experiencing some "lagness" with my msn or internet explorer b4 while using my vaio (not more than 2 months old).. (ok not sure izzit the msn or ie or the vaio itself) didn't do much about it after coz that didn't seem to happen anymore... however.. for this month.. whenever i was halfway using IE or MSN plus (not sure what causes this problem)... the laptop just HANG.. ya as in not responding totally.. which means that i have to restart the whole com again.. this happens for more than 10 times already and am sure is still going to happen... not sure izzit the laptop or the programs themselves... did any of u experience this? any good advices? i would really like to go back to the seller.. but currently overseas already >_<.. mine is a SR26GN silver... |

Hi guys, i recently update the bluetooth software of my SR26. EVery time i on the com, it says a file called unist.exe is missing. When i click browse and put it somewhere it says unable to start bluetooth stack service. What should i do? It could be something to do with the bluetooth mouse too.

QUOTE(tpl @ Mar 14 2009, 01:35 AM) roll back your driver then.. Under bluetooth devices, i right click at the mouse icon and only general and services tab are there. The rollback driver is not there.One more way under bluetooth devices, i click on the bluetooth setting and it opens a tab called bluetooth radio properties. Under the hardware there are 2 things, as the picture below. If i click properties, i only can view the driver details. Cannot rollback driver. Added on March 14, 2009, 3:25 pm QUOTE(Miyabi @ Mar 14 2009, 09:02 AM) is the update related to bluetooth driver or the bluetooth peripherals? These are the items i updated. Btw, system restore shows only for 5 days. I updated this 1 week ago.as far as i know vaio using toshiba bluetooth stack driver, and until now from my first day using the notebook, theres no update on bluetooth. like tpl said, try rollback driver or system restore to early day before you update.
