Can someone remind me of the link to the VAIO Download centre where I can get drivers etc....<BR /><BR />And now a moan - Is it just my Notebook that is an expensive coaster or do other folk have similar probs....<BR /><BR />1) When I create CDs or DVDs of ANY type or format on ANY of my desktop PCs.... about only 5% of them can be read by my VAIO and we are talking hundreds of disks here. WHY IS THAT? Could it be due to a cheap optical drive? or maybe it's more sinister like Sony purposely doing this with their firmware?<BR /><BR />2) My VAIO has a pretty good all round spec so why is it that no matter what RPG game (Morrowind, Call of Duty, UT2004, Vampire Masquerade, Never Winter NIghts to mention a few) I install, none of them are playable - the mouse behaves like an elastic band is so sensitive that the games are unplayable no matter what I do with the game options or windows tweaks???<BR />Other than the above 2 MAJOR ISSUES the notebook can pretty much handle everything else I use it for.....<BR /><BR />3) I always have 3 monitors listed in device manager, 2 default and 1 Sony LCD. The 2 default can be disabled but not uninstalled.<BR /><BR />4) I use and external USB mouse but no matter how much I try, it is IMPOSSIBLE to uninstall the touchpad - WHY???<BR />BTW I have not used the recovery disk but instead have purchased XP Pro in an attempt to solve the first 2 issues..... issues 3 &amp; 4 remain tho.....<BR /><BR />Just for the record I have over 20 years experience as an Analyst / Programmer, Software / Hardware Engineer and IT Technical Consultant so I'm not a newbit.....LOL.... Maybe I just can't see the wood for the trees? LOL<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 17 Jul 2005 18:19:27 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3591#M107608 dazblade 2005-07-17T18:19:27Z Re: Sony VAIO PCG-GRT716S downloads? and a moan... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3592#M107609 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The updates are at <A href="http://www.vaio-link.com" target="_blank">http://www.vaio-link.com</A><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 17 Jul 2005 19:31:42 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3592#M107609 robpaxton 2005-07-17T19:31:42Z Re: Sony VAIO PCG-GRT716S downloads? and a moan... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3593#M107610 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks m8, much appreciated:smileygrin:<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Jul 2005 18:05:09 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3593#M107610 dazblade 2005-07-18T18:05:09Z Re: Sony VAIO PCG-GRT716S downloads? and a moan... https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3595#M107611 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Sounds bad to me that the games are so sensitive.<BR />I was going to suggest changing the touchpad's sensitivity<BR /><BR />As for the CDs, seems sony optical drives are riddled with problems<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Jul 2005 14:14:37 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/sony-vaio-pcg-grt716s-downloads-and-a-moan/m-p/3595#M107611 kee-lo_ 2005-07-19T14:14:37Z
