Qu'est Que C'est?

Thanks Blencogo!

I'm doing fine thanks, and the course is OK, passed this year so that's a relief.

Thanlamus is the master of disguise then?

BTW I am finding this all very confusing - it's like we have two boards for computer problems and chat? Plus you can't right click the writing area to correct your spelling *sighs*

Sony is MAKE BELIEVE - not make, believe.

Hi,

Had this problem with a DeLL, we sorted it out by buying a powered USB hub.

Thought this might be some help to someone, but it's interesting that a 5 year old VAIO has still got the goods!

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:11:59 GMT

Good to see people still have the classic VAIOs which were as tough as nails!

Re: Club VAIO Search is Needed

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:10:53 GMT

In the years I was here I never saw any change in the position about improving the search, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Re: Connecting a PS3 to my Vaio

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:08:30 GMT

The simple answer is no, sadly it can't do that, even if you did get a capture card, you would loose frames and gaming would feel delayed. You could probably sort that out with Guitar Hero, but with other games you couldn't.

Good luck with uni

Re: DVD Disc Drive problems

Have you ever tried removing the drives, it's ABSOLUTELY impossible!

Gave up in the end!

Re: Windows 7 Vaio incompatible

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:40:51 GMT

Yes, these things take time to be ready, even Microsoft hasn't fully completed Windows 7, give it a chance.

Re: How can the search be "temporarily" broken for over 5 months? And why are there no sub forums for different models?

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Tue, 12 May 2009 14:38:07 GMT

It's not been working for 5 years, and it's frustrating

Re: Hi Def Satellite TV Card for XL201 - Any Suggestions

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 16:49:21 GMT

It's still very much in it's infancy, and if you're in the UK Freesat doesn't seem to have much backing now that ITV and C4 are skint.

I think it's now called 2009 Thal

Yeah PLEASE backup before doing it.

Re: lt1s wont burn

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 16:45:26 GMT

I think you've done enough testing to discover if the drive is at fault. I would contact eSupport and arrange a pick up.

Re: I Found a VAIO in airport of Gatwick

Really with any lost article you should have handed it in to the police or lost property. On the other hand that was a very nice gesture.

Re: 10,000th post

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:45:11 GMT

Can I ask why you resigned?

Purely personal reasons. Didn’t feel able to give what I think a CVE should. No hidden agendas, no disputes behind the scenes – just me deciding that while I still want to participate I want to do it without the CVE status.

How goes life with you?

Sorry to hear that Pandora, hopefully all is OK, if not, sorry to hear that.

I'm fine thanks, just popped in to see how you guys were doing.

Can I ask why you resigned? That Thalamus one doesn't keep me in the know LOL (j/k)

Well it was my 6th anniversary the other day, to think 6 years ago I was working with Rob and Eddie, and where are they now?

Anyway well done Thal, and interesting new avatar too.

Faith: where have you been ???? Let me guess - Lewis Hamilton's winner's party?

Congrats Thalamus!

Only 25,000 to go before you take over me ROFLMFAO!

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:04:35 GMT

Stickers, they make your VAIO more personalised and you don't have to fiddle with chemicals that might to be good with the plastic. Yes, they have a downside, they peel, and they can come off, but otherwise they make your VAIO more you than just that generic Sony look.

Re: Which Operating System

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 12:02:30 GMT

Ubuntu - just to put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Seriously though, if you don't play games and want a reliable system, then this is the one, KOffice is just as good.

Re: lack of space on hard drive

Wouldn't bother personally, C: is for the OS and programs and D is for files like video and music.

Re: lack of space on hard drive

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:41:08 GMT

Tell me about it, I need an infinite drive, never runs out of space.

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:15:07 GMT

Blencogo's right about this, I don't think they will defect on repairing it.
