Sony :: New Z890, Win Ultimatewhat To UNINSTALL
May 18, 2010
My brand new Z 890 series came directly from Sonystyle with Win 7 Ultimate installed and lots of additional 'junk' software that I don't want. This is not the fresh start veresion. Since the recovery discs that I made does not allow for a clean install, I figure I'll just have to UNINSTALL as much stuff that I don't need as possible.
Is there a post or guide somewhere as to all the stuff that I can safely uninstall using Windows Uninstall program? (It does have Bluray so I need to keep whatever is necessary for that.)
I want to take out all the demo software such as Office 2007 trial, Norton trial etc but thought I'd ask if there are more that I can uninstall safely.

I am about to order a new VGN-Z890 CTO but I was thinking on ordering a default 250GB HDD and 4 GB of memory to later upgrade it to a SSD disk and 8 GB of RAM.
My questions are,
Does this laptop support installing this SSD drive?: Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH160G2C1 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820167017

How complicated is it to upgrade to a P9700 CPU[ 2.8 GHx with 6MB L2 Cache) on a Z-VGN 890.
Is it the same motherboard or a totally different motherboard. My Laptop currently has a P8800 [ 2.66 GHz 3MB L2 cache)

I want to share my experiences because many of us are on a budget but a little timid about refurbished goods.
I'd never bought a refurbished laptop before but decided to test it out with a refurbished Z890.
I paid about $1500.The specs - 3.06 GHz, 500 gig, 7200 rpm HDD, Blu-Ray read/write, large capacity battery.....

Now that the new Sony Z is out, I think it would meaningful to get a sense of the boot time for this system under various scenarios.
If people could post the boot times of their Z with this information:
- Whether you're calculating the boot with all the bloatware untouched (factory settings), with the $50 Sony Fresh Start (which still has a couple unnecessary programs), a Clean Install, or a Manual Uninstall of all programs.
- And the size of your SSD or HDD. If it is an SSD, it would be nice to know if you can tell us have many SSDs are in the RAID 0 configuration as that affects the speed.
I think this would be very helpful not just for direct comparison, but as another factor to consider in whether to do a clean install, which takes more tech-savvy than some may have.

I've found out there's newer drivers for my Studio laptop for webcam, wireless, etc.
I updated the BIOS and it went fine. My question is do I have to uninstall current driver before installing new one? On Dell web site, they only give general instructions and don't mention this.
If I install new driver over the old one, will I have 2 versions and can go back (in device manager) if the new driver doesn't work as well

When I first got my Y2P I tried to pair my phone with it to use that silly Lenovo SMS utility. That was 4 monts ago and I am at my wits end trying to UN install my phone. I cannot get my computer to pair to anything other than my bt mouse. Have tried headphones and keyboards... no go!!!
It cannot even connect to my phone!!! I have tried...
-Manually removed all bluetooth drivers and my phone's driver. Including showing hidden devices.
-Deleted the drivers using intel's driver removal tool
-Installed new drivers
-Tried every method for removing drivers that shows up on search engines on the first two pages.

I purchased a Pavilion 15-n228us Notebook with Windows 8.1 in April. Several weeks ago, I searched for Microsoft Photo Editor, which I thought included in Start Menu, somehow, I was guided to some site for a free download. To make a long story short, I accidentally downloaded some unwelcome adwares - not mention I still don't have the photo Editor. Anyway, I removed most these programs through Control Panel - Uninstall Program except the last one. This one is called "blasteroids", every time when I tried to uninstall it, it gave me a message of "SEIS (or EISS??) launching failure" and Norton 360 popped up saying an installer with .exe file containing Trojan virus was blocked. So now I am not able to remove this "blasteroids" and it pops up ads every time when I visit a website.
My question is: how do I remove this virus attached program?

I bought my W530 with Windows 7 preinstalled and an option to upgrade to Windows 8, which I did immediately before installing any programs. When I now try to upgrade to Windows 8.1 I get a message asking me to previously uninstall RapidBoot. However I cannot find RapidBoot on this machine. How can I uninstall it?

I'm running a Lenovo Thinkpad SL 410, and am curious as to if it's ok to get rid of some bloat ware. I'm using PC Decrapifier to get rid of things like Norton, which constantly send pop-ups on start up taking up memory and bogging down the system all together.
I don't use any of the features such as thinkvantage toolbox, mainly because it takes 5 minutes to load up and then another 5 minutes to load each page, or even scroll down certain logs. This was happening the day I booted the system so it is not a malware concern.
Before I go ahead and uninstall random things, I like to do some research and see if I need it and if it will ruin my laptop with out it. So far I haven't seemed to be able to find anything on getting rid of certain built in software like Lenovo's Thinkvantage Toolbox.

I am having no problems with my computer.Have recently installed/upgraded to Win7 from Vista.I have tried removing from add/remove and this is the error I get when I attempt to uninstall it:Error 1316 A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:WindowsInstallerSMAsetup.msi
I've tried re-downloading it-then uninstalling it,but I keep getting this error. I do not need this program and would like to reclaim the space it is using.It is not in my start-up and I do not see a listing in the services area(services.msc).
This issue has been resolved. I thought I had re-installed it,but it was only downloaded.I installed it-then uninstalled it with no problems.

having a hard time deciding between these two. I think in the end it'll come down to which screen size I like better.
But anyway, I was reading the review on the CS here and it says the battery lasted just under 4 hours but there's a higher capacity battery.
