When you said I'm entitled to get a 7 upgrade, who has to give it to me ? The shop or sony ? well it's possibly debatable whether you're eligible for an upgrade to Windows 7 now, because you already downgraded to Windows XP. if my memory serves me right, the terms of downgrading are that you relinquish the Vista product key so that you can have XP. in order to upgrade, you would need that Vista product key. it's a volume license key, printed on the underside of the computer trust me, there's no problem there On 3/8/2010 at 1:31 AM, the anonymous forumite said: On 3/8/2010 at 1:20 AM, kaini said: sony. do you have a direct link ? not for sony us, sorry Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide kaini's signature Hide all signatures On 5/7/2013 at 11:06 PM, ambermonk said: I know IDM can be extreme On 6/3/2017 at 11:50 PM, ladalaika said: this sounds like an airplane landing on a minefield Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54071-hey-pc-users/page/3/#findComment-1263617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest the anonymous forumite Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I think the logic behind this deadline is that all computers post 31jan on sale already have 7 installed, so they don't wanna send an extra copy, right ? In that case, I've been screwed.... Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54071-hey-pc-users/page/3/#findComment-1263638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 On 3/8/2010 at 12:58 AM, the anonymous forumite said: no it's all fine. It even lists audio codecs. By the way, the screenshot above is not an actual screenshot, my warning sign is next to PCI devices. OK then, that's good, that's the same thing i had. right click and go to properties every device with a warning sign, click around and find the driver tab or whatever, then tell it to update the driver and find it online. that worked fine for my but my situation was somewhat different.

kaini Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 if you don't have a realtek controller listed under sound, video, and game controllers, then windows isn't even recognizing it as an unidentified device did you run the VAIO\[model XP downgrade]\SETUP.EXE file after installing XP like i mentioned? it can also contain vital northbridge/southbridge drivers On 3/8/2010 at 1:52 AM, the anonymous forumite said: Well, I guess I'm fucked.

I also did the online install twice and everything was installed successfully, EXCEPT FOR THE MODEM driver, as I Mentionned earlier, which failed both times. Quote if you haven't registered it yet, then no. you could phone vaio-link and register the purchase date as sometime in january, then you'd qualify for the upgrade. but that would be lying. So you are saying: 1) that i shouldn't order it online (the link you posted) 2) that I should call them instead Is this correct ? If so, could I ask you for a phone number, I can't find it. I know I can be quite demanding, but I will show you gratitude.
