• Laptop Sony vaio with windows home premium 64 - bit randomly bluescreening

  I had one laptop Sony Vaio for Christmas and a month later he badly infected and had to be wiped. My friend helped me to wipe the laptop and reinstall the drivers and a copy of windows 7 64-bit edition Home premium. A few weeks later I noticed he started bluescreen randomly. A few weeks after it starts to crash any Web browser randomly. He seems to hate Fire Fox, more than any other. It's getting pretty bad now and I really need help, trying to get my laptop in good working condition. I tried several anti virus and malware research but they apparently find nothing every time. I unfortunately did not get a disc of windows 7 recovery of Sony and would like to try to solve this problem without having to pay more money but if needed to.

  Your Sony has been provided with a partition hidden restore and you need to follow instructions Sony to create the defined recovery disc, then visit Sony support and find out how to access the hidden restore partition and the defined recovery disk.

  If your friend has destroyed the car when it installed win7, and where he got that?, you will need to contact Sony support to request the recovery disc game, for which there will be a small fee

• iPhone will not connect with iTunes on a Sony Vaio laptop (Windows 7)

  I can't connect my iPhone to iTunes on my Sony Vaio laptop. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes several times, as recommended on the Apple Support communities, nothing helps. I also deleted and set my phone from scratch. The device is recognized as a storage device, but not iTunes. Can someone please advise as to why this would be the case? As far as I know, everything on my laptop is up-to-date and the phone will not always be recognized.
