Troubleshooting
What should I do if my game software does not work or it keeps crashing?
❑ Check the Web site of the game if there are any patches or updates to download.
❑ Make sure you have installed the latest video driver.
❑ On some VAIO models, the graphics memory is shared with the system. The optimal graphic performance in this case is
not guaranteed.
What should I do if I cannot remember the BIOS password?
If you have forgotten the BIOS password, contact an authorized Sony Service Center to reset it. A reset fee will be charged.
To find the nearest center or agent, see Sony Support Information (page 172) or visit the Sony online support Web site.
Why does it take time before my computer starts?
If Norton Internet Security's Personal Firewall is active, it may take some time before the desktop screen appears due to
network security checkups.
Why doesn't my computer screen turn off when the time selected for the automatic turn-
off action has passed?
The originally selected VAIO's screen saver disables the timer setting, which you can select using the Windows power
options, for your computer screen to turn off.
Change the originally selected VAIO's screen saver.
