It's a common problem when a OS upgrade is done. Open the Device Manager, how many "Unknown Devices" are listed? In Device Manager under Network Adapters is the Wireless device listed? Try here for the Win 8 Pro 64bit drivers: http://www.sony.co.in/support/product/sve14112en/download

SOURCE: remove the drop down icon bar on sony vaio

Usually, with a dropdown toolbar, you can put the cursor all the way to the top of the screen and with the toolbar visible, right click on it to activate a control menu from which you can stop it from dropping down, unlock it and move it to either sidr, or even turn it off altogether.

If this doesn't work, try entering yout laptop model name in Google search followed by "disable dropdown toolbar" for blogs and forums for your laptop model that may have a specific command or trick for your machine.

Good Luck

SOURCE: Driver for Wireless Network Adapter apparently not

There is not only Realtek, but two more, i.e. Atheros and Intel. You better install all of them and check which one will work.

Click here to download Realtek Wireless driver

Click here to download Atheros Wireless driver

Click here to download Intel Wireless driver

All these are for Windows 7 32 bit platform (s)

If you've already installed some or part of the above drivers, please uninstall them (installed drivers), restart your computer and install all these.
Let me know if the problem persists.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Motion eye doesn't work on Windows 7 Sony Vaio VGN-FZ220U

Your original Sony customised version of Windows included some dedicated webcam software plus webcam drivers. It is probable that you need both the software and the drivers from the Sony support website. The question is will the software work without you having a Sony customised version of Windows. Usually, it will work so try downloading and installing them. Check here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNFZ220U&upd_id=3092&os_group_id=10

And here. Study the page carefully to make sure you've chosen the correct operating system and that you have expanded the view by clicking "Open File List", etc.

After install make a virtual hard drive on your VM machine of at least10 gig. Then add your DVD/CD rom drive to the VM and put yourinstall CD/DVD in the drive. Set VM machine to boot from CD.Install on VM hard drive from within the VM machine, Type in KEY code,Bam! you now have a win xp VM!(Note: Games and stuff may not work in the VM as they do not use your video card but a virtual video card that is pretty limited!)

If you are not able to change your windows wallpaper in win 7 , it means you are using Win 7 starter pack or home basic . Sorry to say but the truth is there is no such option in Win 7 Starter Pack or Home Basic to change your wallpaper . But you can use third party software which is very beautiful and works perfectly fine . Click Here to Download

All The Best and hope Wallpaper problem will not annoy you any more

I have sony vaio but the av mode is not working and i have VGN-CS215J

Hi.
According to the information online, the issue might be due to the VAIO Launcher Application.
The VAIO Launcher Application is responsible for the functionality of the AV Mode keys.
Hence, it would be better to re-install the VAIO Launcher Application.
It is also recommended to install the Sony Shared Library before installing the VAIO Launcher Application.
I have mentioned all the links from which you can download the Sony Shared Library and the VAIO Launcher Application:
Sony Shared Library:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNCS215JW&upd_id=4236&os_id=34
VAIO Launcher Application:
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNCS215JW&upd_id=4403&os_id=34
Please click on the above links to download the Sony Shared Library and the VAIO Launcher Application.
Hope this helps.
Please feel free to contact for further information and assistance.

First, make sure that the Kodak printer driver is properly installed in your Sony Vaio. Make sure that you can print while the Kodak is directly connected to Sony Vaio.

If you can print directly connected to it, try to reinstall the GPSU21 Utility.
