Sony VAIO drivers and utilities are not compatible with Windows 8.1.

OT: Sony laptop Vaio question.

Hello.

I was using Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium in my Sony VAIO laptop. Recently, I bought PRO 8.1 Windows and installed.

Now, most of my drivers and utilities VAIO is not compatible! Support for Sony is saying, direct installation Windows 8.1 will be loss the drivers and utilities and we cannot install drivers and utilities more!

The solution is that I have to install Windows 8 PRO and install and upgrade the sony vaio drivers and utilities. After that, I can do an upgrade to Windows 8.1 PRO.

So, the question is, I download the installer of Windows 8 PRO but, PRO 8.1 Windows key does not accept!

What should do? Now, I am running Windows 7. I need to upgrade to windows 8 and 8.1. Please help me solve this problem. All I need is to make my work with Windows 8 key.

Thank you.

Hi Akhil,

Thank you for writing to us, we are happy to help Microsoft Community.

What is the model number of the Sony Vaio laptop?

I wish to inform you that the product key that is used for Windows 8.1 cannot be used for Windows 8.

If you upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8, you will need the key to upgrade of Windows 8. The retail version of Windows 8.1 product key cannot be used to activate Windows 8.

However, the majority of drivers and utilities that are compatible with Windows 8 works correctly with Windows 8.1.

Please let us know the model number of the laptop, so that we can get the proper drivers and utilities from the laptop.

Forward to your response.

    This upgrade to vista family premium is still available? is this useful? How much would it cost?

    * I just did a full factory restore, which helped.

    but when I reinstalled the operating system, it wouldn't let me put in the same primary place on drive C?

    I had to put it in a secondary partition and it saved a lot of old stuff and labeled "old windows"?

    I do not understand why it does this. is there something in the old system files I need?

    cause the entire purpose of the restoration was to get rid of all that. now, I have essentially 2 copies taking up room.

    because he saved much of the old system files, there's no enough space in the main square.

    Do you think I can manually remove the "old windows" copy C drive without doing any harm to the computer?

    I did enter and delete all of the photos and docs & downloads which he recorded, that I didn't, with no negative consequences.

    but it still has a lot of program/file system I fear not remove.i shouldn't need them... right?

    everything I need should be there since the operating system reinstalled, I just did?

    Help?

    By all means delete the windows.old folder.  Use disk cleanup.  You will find a box to check the detached, although it will not be called "windows.old" specifically.

    It seems that your computer has a recovery partition.  You would not be able to install.

    As for Home Premium, Yes, you can switch to HP.  If you can still find a copy.  Vista Express upgrade is no longer available since Vista is no longer available at a retailer.  However, you can find a copy on eBay.  Make sure you buy a retail copy and not an OEM copy.  You will not be able to update an OEM copy.  No matter if the copy of detail you find is a copy of full or upgrade license.  You'd still be able to do an upgrade in place with one or the other.

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.

  • The information about the registered printer are not compatible with this version of Photoshop

    Hello

    I hope someone can help us. I'm a COMPUTER technician in a school, we have about 500 machines to Windows 7 64 bit with around 600/700 users - 200 machines have the CS5.5 Master Collection on which is installed. We have an intermittent problem with printing from Photoshop (32-bit and 64-bit versions). Our printers are for the most part, the (modern) HP LaserJet printers, but we have an inkjet Epson B-510DN and some copiers Xerox too. The drivers are all installed on a central print server running Server 2008 R2 and shared via the client computers group policy.

    In the rooms where Photoshop is installed, intermittently when a student goes to print, we will receive the following error message:

    Saved printer information are not compatible with this version of Photoshop, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before you print.

    Photoshop will be gray and then the button "Print" and will not let the user print again. The strange thing is that we can still print from other software such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft software or even non - same Illustrator will print. It just seems to be Photoshop it's has all the problems.

    This occurs when you print to a printer on the site, 90% of whom are HP. As a general rule we set up all of our HP printers with HP PCL6 universal print driver because it facilitates the management of the various models of printers, and we did not limit ourselves atall yet. We are aware that the Adobe software is "preferential" for Postscript drivers, but aren't our printers, HP PCL is their mother tongue. We tried to change a printer for the Postscript UPD driver to test but he brought no improvement. We also saw the issue in depth altogether with our Epson B-510DN, which is configured with the newer model specific driver Epson as uses our photography service. As we see with different printers, I don't think the printer drivers are to blame - unless someone want to prove me wrong.

    Like I said the problem is intermittent, and we are having trouble tracing it down for a user, computer, or a software problem, as it is so intermittent. Has anyone another considering cela and managed to overcome? Given that it only happens in Photoshop is this a bug that Adobe have recognosed and fixed the CS6? The only solution we found that he must go in printer, change the default printer from one to the other and vice versa - cela seems to shut up Photoshop.

    Thank you, Dave.

    Here's the answer that I received from Adobe, and it worked.

    'Ok. Try to open 'print', while holding the space bar; He ignores all the saved values. "Also, make sure that the correct printer that he set as default.

  • Information about the registered printer are not compatible with Photoshop elements 11

    Hello - having used successfully PSE11 to print pictures on my printer Epson Artisan 810, printer died and was replaced with a printer Epson Artisan 837.  The new printer works on ALL my other applications EXCEPT I get the following error message after hitting "print" on Photoshop elements 11.

    You can see on the screenshot attached as the Epson Artisan 837 is a validly installed printer.  All advanced settings were available for selection/editing, and all the printer drivers are up-to-date.  In addition, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer without the resolution of the problem.

    Can someone tell me please in the right direction to solve this problem?
    Thank you, Debbie

    Running:

    Windows XP sp3 (updated)

    Go into the control-> devices and printers-> and rename your printer or remove it and reinstall the drivers and rename the name of the printer. Looks like the Epson series drivers could come into conflict here that would be common for Epson series of printers in this category.

  • How can I restore my new iPad mini from iCloud backup if they are not compatible with iOS9?

    My Mini iPad had an internal problem, so I got a new one on the Apple store.

    The problem is I'm trying to save my other from iCloud, and I get a message saying

    my back ups that are not compatible with iOS9? What should I do? I don't want to set it up as a new iPad.

    I want to save all my info. Help, please!

    What iOS has been used to create the backup initially? Is it possible that the backup was performed with iOS 9.x and replacement has only iOS 9.0? Check what iOS is on the replacement iPad. If this is not the last and the original device was later, then you will need to put in place the iPad like new, update of iOS, then go into settings > General > reset > erase all content and settings. Then you can restore the backup to iCloud.
