Sony :: Z Series && Windows 7

Nov 3, 2009

I am trying to just start over with a clean install of Win7 64 bit.

I get windows installed, then install a few drivers to resolve the device manager reported things that are missing.

Then I try to install the Sony Shared Library. When I do this, after it's done, I get the "did this install correctly?" dialog. Did it? I don't know -- it's a clean install of the OS, and these are the installers right from the sony site -- is that supposed to happen? How can I tell if it really got installed?

Sony :: Windows 7 64 Bit On CR Series

Sep 3, 2009

I just did a clean install of windows 7 64 bit that I got from my university on my CR4000 and have a few minor driver problems. Before anyone asks, I know my comp only came with a 32bit version of vista, but I checked and hardware wise it is fully cabible of running 64 bit. The install went well and things are working fine (really liking windows 7 so far) but after the install my Fn keys on my keyboard aren't working and the volume buttons work but don't show up on the screen like they used to. The sd card slots didn't work but i found a driver that works with them. Does anyone know how to get the Fn buttons to work, and is it even possible on windows 7 or a 64 bit os? and scrolling on the touch pad doesnt work.

Sony :: Vaio Z Series Won't Take Windows 7

Oct 20, 2009

I have a Sony Vaio Z790J. I recently tried to install Windows 7 x64 (from msdn) onto my Vaio. It always gets through the install but the second time it reboots (when it tries to start the services, etc) I go straight to a BSOD.

I tried changing ACHI, RAID, IDE, none of those make a difference. Has anyone seen this? Of course I blasted my backup partition too so I can't restore Vista x64. Nice move on my behalf

Sony :: NS Series Ntbk Won't Let Me Install Windows

Jan 1, 2009

I got a VGN-NS130 but it won't let me install windows..

It keeps saying the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an error and then there's an option to click "OK" to restart the computer and the installation again. But even when I click it, it still brings up that same window.

I guess it's because I turned on the computer before charging it and it turned off when it ran out of the batteries, so....

After installing Win7 Home Premium 64bit on my Vaio TT11WN/B laptop, everything seemed to be working fine, except automatic display sensor which I couldn't manage to fix at all.

I want to install Windows 7 on my UK Sony VGN-Z11VN, however, cannot find the Windows 7 drivers inc Globetrotter WWAN driver.

People are discussing newer Z models in other threads and cannot find much info about installing it on the Z11 and I'm sure lots of Z11 owners also want to install Windows 7.

Therefore I'm creating this dedicated thread for us Z11 owners how to install Windows 7.

Sony :: Z-series Docking Station And Windows 7

Nov 14, 2009

I have a problem with the docking station for my Sony Z-11, the Z11 itself doesn't have a DVI out, but the docking station does, however with windows 7 the docking station dvi port doesn't work anymore.

How do I fix it? Is there some drivers I need to install, otherwise Win 7 works perfectly on the laptop. Just think there must be something I'm missing, and google doesn't help.

Docking station model number is VGP-PRZ1

Sony :: Windows 7 Clean Instructions Install On VAIO E-Series

Apr 21, 2010

I was searching for a Thread that has some data about clean instructions and restoring all functions for the VAIO E-Series, but I didn't find one.

And since there is a lot of users here who own the VAIO E-Series, I think it might be useful.

So, can anyone share his experience with a clean install on the VAIO E-Series and how did you do that?

Some special order in installing drivers? What's about the FN-Buttons? Whats about the Assist and WEB Buttons? Are they all working?

Feb 14, 2010

i just reinstalled winxp sp3 on a sony s3xp, i don't have the vaio installation cd but i did a clean reinstall of windows xp and installed essential drivers but it was quite slow, eg seconds to load a directory, or long pauses during web browsing

now i've installed all the original drivers and utilities and am running without power saving but it's still sluggish, eg the mouse pointer jumps about the screen rather than moves continuously when the cpu is under any load at all

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Y580 With Windows 8 - Fresh Install Of Windows 7

Dec 1, 2012

My Y580 should be arriving shortly. I got it on the Black Friday Special and it comes with Windows 8. I bought a SSD to replace the HDD and I am wanting to downgrade it to a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate or Pro and I have a couple questions:
 
How to do this for the Y580? I have not been able to locate one.
 
Also I am assuming I would not want to use the Windows 8 device drivers correct? Do I use the Windows 7 device drivers?
 
Would use the drivers from the Lenovo site or each devices specific website? I am going to try to save them on a DVD in advance and want to be prepared.

B series is released in this January

Which series is better? The B series is for business. This series is only 5.9lbs with 15.4'. On the other hand, the CW series is around 5.5 lbs and it is only 14'. What do you think? Have you ever try B series? 15.4' is pretty good for movie.

Sony :: AR/AW Series

May 5, 2010

I really enjoy the big screen, large HD and fast CPU. And what appears to be a Sony exclusive, a R/W Blu-Ray drive. I watched eagerly at the AW series, thinking that I might pull the trigger on the 'next' laptop in this series.

But as you know, it never came...

So I took a look at the F series at some of the local computer shops (e.g. Fry's and Micro Center)

Sony :: Why No More AW Series

Feb 15, 2010

I was looking at this series all the way back in October when Windows 7 was going to launch. What happens?

They keep Vista on it and the gradually phase it out. The few OS 7 models they had they phased out.

Why did Sony discontinue this Series? I've seen no rumors or anything on an update.

Was it not selling well? Techical problems? Why just drop the line for so long?
