VAIO Care version: 8.4.6.05111
Model name: SVE1511JFXW
Service Tag number:
Serial number:

Operating Systems: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1

 

I received a notice to update my BIOS.

 

VAIO BIOS Update Tool 1.3.0.09290
Model Name: SVE1511JFXW
Current version: R0180E5
New version: R0220E5

 

I ran the update.

The update seems to be stuck.

It is not allowing me to shut down the PC.

 

When I try to shut down, Windows says: 

(Waiting for) VAIO Update Control

Update programs are running.

Click “Cancel” to cancel the shutdown, logoff, a restart.

 

Is it okay to force a shutdown?

Hello, 

 

How do I re-install all the SONY's setting and drivers from 4 DVDs (Sony Recovery DVDs set)  but NOT re-install the OS ?

Also, is there a way I can copy/paste all the contents from 4 DVDs then paste onto a flash drive and then use the flash drive instead of using the optical drive? (Because it seems to me, dvd #1 stuck at 22% for a long time, dvd#2 stuck at 46%, dvd#3 stuck at 88% ...

 

Thank you

How do I replace both the HDD and SDD on a SVT13124CXS. Is there a way to clone the drive to a replacement?

I run a program a disk management program called Sentenal. Both the HDD and SSD have low health issues. From Internet searches, it appears that I cannot just put in another drive. Seems there's an issue in regard to the HDD being a hybrid with a 32 SSD cache drive. So what HDD drives can I use as a replacement or am I better off changing to an SSD drive and get rid of the 32GB cache? Can I, or do I need to, clone the existing drive to the replacement?

I have a Sony VAIO VPCL111FX (PCV-A1111L) AIO desktop. According to its specs, the system board supports Socket LGA775.

 

What is the maximum CPU type supported by this model? Technically, Socket LGA775 supports Intel Xeon @ 3.40GHz. Will the system board work with this CPU or is it configured to work with specific CPU types?

I have a sony vaio the computer is out of date I just received the power cord and turned it on but I am concerned about overloading the system with updates and making it completely useless. The current operating system is Windows XP model number PCG-7A2L VGN-FS640/W Is is possible to upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1 without causing more problems? I have WiFi internet and wanted to wait until I can get some guidance knowing how quickly it can turn into total ****** very quickly. Thia computer seems to be in good shape other then the outdated XP so if I should just use it as it is I can make adjustments as I really do not care for Windows 10 at all it seems as we move ahead we lose more and more control over our computers. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

VAIO CARE FILE REMOVED BY WINDOWS DEFENDER, VAIO CARE NO LONGER WORKS

Hi, Earlier today Windows Defender (Windows 10) quarantined the following file as a threat:

 

file: C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Care\Iolo\ioloToolsTypeLib.dll

 

The following info appeared in Windows Defender:

 

Misleading:Win32/Chekuem
Alert level: High
Status: Quarantined
Date: 02/02/2018
Recommended action: Remove threat now.
Category: Potentially Unwanted Software
Details: This program displays deceptive product messages.

Affected items:
file: C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Care\Iolo\ioloToolsTypeLib.dll

 

Unfortunately, I accidentally and stupidly pressed 'Remove', before I'd read the whole thing, and since then VAIO Care will not work.

 

I tried restoring my computer to an earlier time, using a restore point only a few days old, but could not do so, apparently because a file was 'missing'. I am assuming Windows Defender has deleted the said file i.e.:

file: C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Care\Iolo\ioloToolsTypeLib.dll  and as a consequence disabled VAIO Care. Is there any way I can recover/download/replace the missing software/file and so get VAIO Care operational again? The only option I seem to have at present is to use a System Image from several months ago, but I don't want to do that if there is a simpler way. I have to confess I'm pretty useless with computers so any advice would be welcome. Thanks!

I recently installed another motherboard as my sigmatel audio drivers had a yellow exclamation mark.

This board had been flashed to vgn-sz440N. I installed all the XP drivers etc.

Everything works bluetooth, switches and buttons on the ANL-66 board, except audio - no sound at Vaio Logo nor windows.

Tried another ANL-66 board with no luck.

Any ideas??
