Impossible to update Sony Companion

Hi, I know, companion of Sony has been replaced by the companion of Xperia, but here's my dilemma...

I have a backup for my Xperia recorded on an old WinXP with Sony PC Companion installed 2.1 machine.

If I try to run Sony PC Companion, it loads to the status bar, but when I try to open it, it says it must be updated to the latest version.

When I click 'update now' it opens a progress bar, but it fails immediately with a message "Setup error".

If I try to install the companion Xperia, it will not because she needs Win7 or above (fails with "not a Win32 application valid" message).

So, what can I do? If I install Xperia companion on a newer machine, can I copy it to my backup and use it with the new application? (somehow I doubt it).

And why Sony Companion let me not continue to use the installed version that works?

Hi Andy_P2002,

You can also make a backup of your backup and you can use Xperia companion to find the backup of the CCP.

Usually the backup files will be found in my documents > Sony Mobile > backup > backup name

Simply copy and paste into another directory and Xperia Companion to find in the directory.

  • Impossible to update video driver on Satellite L675

    Hi all!

    I have the problem, I bought 675 as for 1099 7 months ago. Since it was the portable games 'up' and as time passes, I updated my Bios. Since everything goes wrong and I've updated my Bios as half year, after 1 month ago when I bought the laptop.

    As I sayed, as last time I start as arrowheads shift if I watch videos, play games, music of lisening.
    He put like noise frezze, as pc frezes for 2 sec and squiks really boring.

    Don't know how to fix.
    I guess its problem of processor i5 or cuz bios.

    Then when I tried to display updated my driver, there is no way to freaking updated its just impossible mission.

    Toshiba care a little to make updating drivers for the customer even though I tried to download it from the official site of AMD.

    It is said to be impossible to update driver since it is not supported and it said that I'm going for new drivers toshiba site and there is no new drivers for my pc.

    So I stuck and new games need new drivers like few games don't wana start because I not updated my drivers.
    Its ridiculous.

    I hope that you will be able to help me with my drivers up-to-date. If it is not... Well, altest I know not why not to buy an another toshiba laptop if they don't care about costume designers.

  • Impossible to update of Windows Media Player and Microsoft Security Essentials and the error is "access denied error 80070005."

    Apparently an involuntary change of administrative privileges or permissions (Windows XP Pro, SP3) keeps me updated Media Player version 9 to 11 v. and updated virus Security Essentials definitions.
    For Media Player, wmsetup.log reports access denied error 80070005 and UpdSpAPI.log reports access denied for the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Settings\MP3Encoding\LowRate registry key. In regedt32, I'm blocked from display HKLM\...\MediaPlayer\Settings and below, and "are allowed to view the current permission settings, but... can make a change." Except that I can't. I can enter the change but get «...» Access is denied"trying to apply them. So this is the first problem that I need help.
    But of course it's more than a registry key and the subkeys, because MSE too is affected and will download but not install virus definitions. WindowsUpdate.log reports: failed to install with error 80070643.
    My user account (it's the only one!) is part of the Administrators group and all that I tried to verify administrative permissions is positive. This is a new issue. No virus/malware, according to MSE, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, MalWarebytes Anti-Malware.

  • I had the virus "XP Antivirus 2012" and now impossible to update MSE

    I had the virus "XP Antivirus 2012" and now impossible to update MSE.  Yesterday, I downloaded the Scanner of MS on another computer and transferred to the computer infected in safe mode and ran the Scanner from Ms.  Fortunately, it removed the virus, but this morning I started the computer and check the updates on MSE, but he would not check.  A window titled "Microsoft Security Essentials" read, "Security Essentials could not check the updates antivirus and antispyware due to internet or network connectivity problem."  He was also the error code: 0 x 80248014.

    Can my firewall Windows or Security Center maintain MSE? Or should I do something else?

    Probably a corrupted Winsock, try running the Fixit 50203 (scroll down page)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811259

    If it is impossible to access the Fixit on your own computer try dl on another computer as you did with the Safety Scanner.

    Have you tried the bleepingcomputer.com removal guide / http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-xp-antispyware-2012 (again may require the use of another computer in mode minimum to dl and file transfer)

    Since you use MSE, have tried the Safety Scanner but still have problems consider contacting support.

    Start here - https://support.microsoftsecurityessentials.com/
