Cannot load Windows (Vista-Sony Vaio VGN-NS110E)
So I bought this computer off a friend for $50, knowing very well the problems she experienced. No im hoping I can get some help and do this thing running.
When I start the computer, I get a screen that says...
"Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
I have two options below...
Start the reboot system (recommended) - Insert windows instilation disk and restart... Well I don't have the instillation disk
Start windows normally - goes to loading with green bars screen and handle everyday if I let him
I downloaded this (iso 120Mo thing) vista recovery disk and he put in the computer and ran the startup of many times repair... 20 times or more. the only thing I get is "system on the disk volume is damaged." it dosent have one
When I boot computer and press f8, I get a screen with many options... I can't load the safe mode, safe mode with networking, or safe mode with command prompt and any of the other options seem to give results.
When I start the computer and press f10, I get a disk read error occurred press Ctrl-alt-del to restart (done nothing doin it just stay on the same screen)
When I boot the computer and press f2 it evokes the thing of the bios I think and he tell me that I HAVE a HD 250 GB installed in the computer (which seems really odd because when in the Startup Repair and I click on the button "LOAD DRIVERS" I am able to look through the hd and see all the old files left there by my friend BUT HE DOES WATCH THE HD FOR) BE a 140 GB HD?)
THINGS OF IMPORTANCE MAY BE:
He mentioned something about someone who replace the hd for him goin for the smallest 140 now 250 gb hd... but it seems strange that the computer is tell me 2 things different in 2 different places (250 GB in bios f2 thing) (140 in the button drivers load the Startup Repair tool) and MI is still able to browse the folders on the hard drive
his display I have 3 drives c:local disk (140 gb) e:recovery(8.89gb) x: start (33.6 MB)
loading safe mode it gets stuck on this file crcdisk.sys for awhile and then just restarts the computer
IF THERES NOTHING ELSE I CAN SAY YOU OR I CAN TRY THINGS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK... REALLY WANT THIS COMPUTER
EDIT-I TRIED ALSO REINSTALL IT WINDOWS OPTION AND ASKED ME TO ENTER THE PRODUCT KEY I DID USING THE LABEL ON THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER SIAD INVALID PRODUCT KEY AND IT AND I CHECK AND RECHECK IT SOME TIME... IT WAS JUST BUT NOT RETURN INSTALL ME WINDOWS AGAIN? //?????
MODIFIERMODIFIER - DISBLED REBOOT FAILUER - HAD A BLUE SCREEN WITH A FEW _ ON THAT 'PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED' AND THEN IT INSIDE "* STOP: 0Z0000006B (0XC0000102, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).
UNRESPONSIVE WORTH... FOUND A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL ON MY HD MANUFACTURERS SITE. IT SORTA UNDERSTOOD WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW
NO. DRIVE FOUND ERROR/STATUS CODE: 0120
WHILE THEY INSPECTED THE SITE FACTORY AGAINST THIS CODE... I GOT THIS...
An unknown error occurred during testing. This may be an anomaly. Check the connections and repeat the test. If the error repeats, replace the drive.
HE RAN 6 TIMES WITH THE SAME RUSULT... SAME ERROR CODE
I HOPE THAT MY FRIEND KEPT HIS RECIPT FOR THIS DRIVE... AS LONG AS ITS ONLY BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE (FEB.8.2010 SHOULD OPEN UP TO KNOW WHICH DRIVE A LITTLE IT WAS :)) SO I IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT WAS SOLD WHAT TO THINK OF THE DAY, IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER SOME SORT OF WARRANTY ID)

Hi shiva55,
Check to see if the following is useful.
Method 1: Try to perform a disk cleanup and check if it helps.
Delete files using disk cleanup
Some of the files you are referring are system files that are required by the operating system, and you will not be able to remove them. But there may be malware infection as well.
Method 2: Perform an online scan to find any infections on the computer.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN - FJ270 32-bit. When I bought a friend he XP. I then upgraded to Vista but I still have a problem. I spoke with one of the Microsoft technology and there entered into my computer online. He suggested I went to Windows 7 and he sent me a disc. I went to put it on my computer and now I have problems with drivers etc. My question is; Where can one find a WDDM compatiable, mass storage controller, video controller driver? That's all that I know so far. I tried many things and at this point, I'm stumped... Help, please?
(1) here is the link for windows vista operating system from sonysupport Web site
(2) chipset driver is the same for any operating system
(3) you can see the technical characteristics by reading the user manual or user's guide
(4) find all the model numbers and corresponding mark and click on
Web site of the respective manufacturer, download corrcet device driver according to
operating system and install

Sony Vaio VGN-Z31WN
Windows Vista professional.
Serial number: 28286061
Service etiquette: J003R5FO
IMEI: 355891020417161
I recently had some work to my computer and when I came back, my Adobe suite has been uninstalled.
What steps should I take to re - install / checking the codes etc?
Reinstall from the original with the original serial number disks. There is a good chance it will work. If she says "too many activations", you must contact Adobe.
Please be aware that this is a public forum and all information that you post can be seen by the world. It's often a bad idea to post the serial numbers, because they can be stolen and Rob you of what you paid for. (Less a matter of concern for the machine numbers, but a real problem for the software). There is nothing that we can do your series of Sony or the serial number, only Sony could use it.

Hi, I wonder if there is someone who can help me on this issue because it prevents me to install Windows 7 on my laptop. I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NR110E model, and when I try to install Win7 it tells me that I must first uninstall DisplayLink Core Software. I went to my control panel to uninstall the program, and it doesn't let me, saying another program he has in use. On this forum, someone suggested that I'm trying to boot my laptop in safe mode, and it can allows me to remove the program there. My concern with this would be if I remove this program in Mode safe, how could make sure I'd be able to re - install DisplayLink Core Software should anything go wrong when I try to install Win7?
The other question I have is there are two other programs that appear to be linked to DisplayLink Core Software. They are called SONY VGP-UPR1 and there is another utility called program SONY VGP-UPR1 (display Adapater). If I deleted those first, it seems that it can release DisplayLink Core software should be deleted. In this case someone has already tried that and had success?
Could someone install Windows 7 on a Sony Vaio VGN-NR110E?
Hi RC2076,
Welcome to Windows 7 answers Forum!
From what I can see SONY VGP-UPR1is a USB docking station for VAIO, try to temporarily disable by right clicking on the program. You can go ahead and uninstall the software basis of DisplayLink, as long as you have the CD for this software.
Once you are done uninstalling, you can install Windows 7 and later you install DisplayLink Core Software and select then the other two programs that are linked with the above mentioned software.
You can also run the Upgrade Advisor and check it out. Here is the link to download the Upgrade Advisor.

Hi, I'm having so much worse for my webcam to work again after a clean installed Windows 7 64-bit (I used to run 32-bit vista). I searched the net and found many many people with the same problem but no solution yet that works for me. My last attempt:
I manually installed these drivers recommended on this forum: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-hardware-devices/1135698.htm
With the help of the method 'have disk '. Installation seemed to happen, but no program does not recognize my webcam. Skype, for example, seems to work, but the video is just black.
In Device Manager > features the webcam is listed as "RY5U870/VGA-CAM F01_UVC of Imaging.
"and noted that"this device works fine."" Many people have suggested to try to download the originals and installation using Vista compatibility, but I can't get these drivers to 64-bit, and when I download the 32-bit drivers, unfortunately they do not work.I understand that I hit a wall here on my laptop model Sony support (now obsolete), but I feel that there must be a work around that people found out there somewhere. Can someone help me get my webcam goes again?

Once the drivers installed to check if the microphone is the default value, here's how:
Exercise the functions mentioned below to adjust the Microphone as default:
1. Click Start and click on Control Panel.

In this case, it is the correct action, ignore him.

Nothing else to do, Windows will do the rest. And you can ignore the errors altogether if you wish
and on some computers, it will always be there but don't cause any trouble.On a Windows Vista-based computer or on a Windows Server 2008, Microsoft computer

How to fix the fingerprint reader of the problems of compatibility with WIN 7 Sony Vaio VGN-SZ260P
The fingerprint reader does not work on my laptop Sony Vaio VGN SZ240P since I've updated from Windows XP. There must be a problem somewhere online. Everyone fell on this problem yet? And if so how do solve you this problem?
Hello Jason,
This will be a little problem. The only available fingerprint driver is for XP, the operating system on this computer comes with. There is a driver at this location: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNSZ240P&upd_id=2134&os_group_id=13 which works on Vista with "loss of functionality.
So, if you have a 32-bit Windows 7 system (it will not work in a 64-Bit environment) do the following: download the XP / Vista driver and install it. Once its installed go to the program icon or the file itself and right click on it, selecting Properties in the window that opens. When the new window opens, go to the top row of tabs and select the Compatibility tab. When that shows check the box run in compatibility and mode in the drop-down list that appears, select Windows 7. Then select Apply and after that finishes select apply to all users. That brings up the same menu for all users - check the compatibility in the Windows 7 box, click on apply, then click OK and click OK.
If something does not work as I've described, post here with details and I'll try to work through it, with you. Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards
