I just got a Sony VPCF115FM. I was wondering if there is a setting for the browser/webpage where it opens up and the size is what I prefer. Meaning that I don't have to keep using "Ctrl +" to enlarge the page.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the Acer TravelMate 8215WLMi, running on Windows XP Pro SP2, with RAM, 2GB DDR, and CPU 2.0Ghz, and Harddisk size is 160GB.
Previously, I tried to upgrade to Vista, but found that no really compatible with several softwares at this moments, and I decided to restore my system back to Windows XP Pro SP2, using the PQSERVICE, hidden partition.
However, I realize that I should have accidentally deleted the PQSERVICE hidden partition, and now my C: Drive is under NTFS one full partition 160GB. I now only left with the Recovery DVD which I initially prompted to burn.
I have the Spotmau 2008 DVD which allow me to create the hidden partition, and then restore back the Default Partition Size to the factory default. However, I do not know what is the size of each partitions.
Anybody have the TravelMate8215WLMi running on Windows XP Pro SP2, can help to check the actual size of the first partition "PQSERVICE" hidden partition, follow by the actual size of C: Drive parition in FAT32, and lastly the actual size of D: Drive in FAT32.
In short, I need the informations of the TM8215WLMI actual factory default partitions size:
1) "PQSERVICE" hidden partition, the actual size,
2) C: Drive Label "ACER" FAT32, the actual partition size,
3) D: Drive Label "ACERDATA" FAT32, the actual partition size.
4) How can I restore the data back to the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition after recreated?
Can I copy the full content from the initially burned Recovery DVD to the "PQSERVICE" hidden partition?
I'd like to run Pro Evolution Soccer in my envy 15 jt100. However, the game checks the default graphic memory size and the default value is 32M, which is so small that the game just won't run even if the overall performance is enough for this game... Is there any way to increase the default graphic memory size?
View 2 Replies View Relatedjust bought myself a Sony VPCF115FM, and love it. I live in Australia although i think this notebook is from the US as it had some BestBuy software on it when i first turned it on.. anyway..
I was just wondering, is it possible to put the brightness up higher? I went into control panel, then hardware, then display and it was already at it's highest, then i pressed the 'Fn' key and then kept pressing F6, and that too was already at its highest, but comparing the display to my mates Asus, or my other mates Toshiba, their displays are so much more brighter then my Sony, so is there ANY way at all to make it brighter? Also, is there any configuring i could do to the display to make it better in any way or form?
One more question, about the backlit keyboard, is it possible to keep it lit on at all times? I've heard there's a sensor somewhere, where if i block it with some tape, it will leave it on all the time? If so where abouts is it? Had a bit of a look but to no avail.
I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my Sony VPCF115FM laptop, and I was wondering what I need to install to get the brightness control to work. I already tried the video drivers, shared library, and notebook utilities from this site:

But nothing seems to affect the brightness, even though I do see the brightness bar now when I press the appropriate keys.

I realize the 330M GT is not a tier 1 video card for gaming...but I'm curious if this card can drive the native 1920 by 1080 res of this laptop in modern games (MW2, Mass Effect 2, etc). I'm not looking for 60 frames per second...would be satisfied with 30...just trying to gauge if this is a reasonable expectation.
Closest answer I've found in the owner threads indicated that one person said it could run native on Left 4 Dead 2 and COD: World at War.
Very impressed by the performance of the i7 core and DDR3 memory...just hoping the video card can at least hold its own.
I bought SONY VAIO VPCF115 Model Laptop from Best Buy in Austin,TX in Feb 2010.
Up till now everything was working perfectly fine , until today morning when I powered ON my laptop nothing would come up! NO DISPLAY! I tried taking out the battery and putting back again, tried removing RAM and all possible options tried! the laptop is powering ON but its not displaying anything! nor the Hard drive is being read.
I am currently in India on vacation and having this problem.I don't know whether this is covered with SONY VAIO warranty , b'caz I didn't buy the accidental warranty from Best Buy.
I gave my laptop at SONY SERVICE Center here in India and they told me the MOTHERBOARD IS faulty and its not functioning , hence they need to repair the motherboard! I was like WHAT? how can that be possible even in the first place.
any possibility of the sony z12 getting a bigger screen.. a 14" would make it the correct decision for me

I have an older sony 15.4" and even though the new computer has a bigger and wider screen, the pages in the 16:9 are narrower and smaller. They occupy less space on the screen with white borders on the sides. Can it be fixed? I tried to change screen resolution but that does not help.
I just installed Win7, sticking as much as possible to this method:

problem is, using the FN keys, the brightness dialog is showing, but I can't increase or decrease it. brightness does not show up on power managment nor on mobilty center. the power plans from vaio ("VAIO optimized") are showing, but still if I pull the plug screen stays on maximum brightness...

Still owning an old Sony SZ1XP laptop and was wondering if anyone have ever replaced the stock HD with a newer 7200 RPM HD
Main question i would like to ask if i am limited to a certain size of 7200 RPM HD
For example: in this site [url]
It says the following "up to a 120GB 5400RPM hard drive"
Does this mean i can only fit a harddrive of max. 120gb in the laptop?
otherwise that it is possible to put a bigger sized hd
P.....8"......1600 x 768

E.....15.5"..1366 x 768
NW..15.5"..1366 x 768
F.....16.4"..1600 x 900..1920 x 1080
Couldn't find a comparison chart of this, so I made one just for reference.
I'm set on getting a 1080p display in my next laptop and so far, Sony has the best choices! This is coming from someone who has purchased or influenced the purchase of about 17-18 Dell laptops.
I'm looking at buying the CW2, but I can't decide on which screen size to go for. The options are 1366x768 or 1600x900.
My main use is for general internet and Photoshop. I will occasionally watch dvd's and online hd content but this wont be too often.
I've seen 15.6" with 1366x768 displays and they look ok to me. So I assume the 14" with 1366x768 would look the same but maybe a tad sharpen due to the smaller size?
My primary concerna about the 1600x900 is whether it would make text uncomfortably small to read on websites etc. Also when I'm using my graphics tablet in photoshop, some of the options are fiddly to select on my current laptop (13.3" 1280x800) and a 14" 1600x900 would make them even smaller?
I'd love input from you guys with a 14" 1600x900, and equally a 14" 1366x768. Especially those who do image editing on it!
Why the zoom % of webpages randomly changes whilst I am surfing the internet with Mozilla on my Lenovo S10e laptop? It is very frustrating and when this happens I go down to the right hand corner of the application and select 100%. Is this a zoom problem or just the fact it is resizing the pages because of the screen size being very small. Are there any updates or software needed to overcome this problem.

I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on my Vaio Z11MNB. As Google told me there is a problem with the FN + F5/F6 brightness adjust in speed mode.
All Sony software ist installed correctly and in the newest version I found.
As in many threads mentioned I followed the right order. But I still cannot adjust the brightness in speed mode
This thread Problem with Vaio Z Windows 7 brightness lead me to the right graphic drivers I thougt... Okay these drivers[url] are for the ZD790 but this shouldn't matter it's the same 9300GS chipset...

I have an Ideapad Z580 with a 30mbps cable internet connection (running Win8.1). I've tested the cable modem with a number of laptops in my house, and the Ideapad is the only one that regularly times out on loading webpages.
What I've tried:
1. Updated Realtek Ethernet driver to newest version
2. Changed to Google Pub DNS servers (no difference from cable providers)
3. Changed power settings to High Performance (rather than balance or the battery setting)
4. Turned off IPV6 on the ethernet adapter
The problem seems to be random. Pages will load quickly and then suddenly they all time out (such as google and lenovo.com). When I ping both the url and the ip address they time out during these periods.
The problem is definitely with the laptop and not the cable connection as such. The modem does not need to be reset, as other laptops in the house load webpages normally.
It can detect and "connect" to my wifi, however the moment i try to enter a webpage, it disconnects and doesn't work. So basically, the wifi doesn't work. I have checked the drivers and i'm 99% sure they're updated.

Well, for some reason, the other day when I clicked on the IE Icon on the desktop, the window would open to full size and then immediately close out.I could not keep the window open.
My apple Safari browser will work normally however. I thought malware or virus, but It continued to do this even after running spyware doctor, McAfee, ad-awatch and windows defender.
Finally I was able to run IE browser only if I disabled all browser add-ons . Then I re-enabled them one at a time, and the culprit seems to be McAfee Site Advisor Toolbar. If I leave this disabled, it seems to work ok but it still seems a little slow. Any reason why this happens? Also wondering if I should disable some of the other add-ons or are they there as a necessity .........
Anyone else dislike the new column browser? In previous iTunes, the bar was accross the top; access to Genres, Artists, Albums.....
Now, down the side (taking more space away from my collection views), and I have to go to a menu to select between the different options its lists.....
Honestly Apple, why? Its crappy, out of place and makes me scroll accross because before I actually had enough room to get all the info I needed on my screen (track, artist, album, track number).... now.... not so much!
