Vaio zone used to show that the tv tuner was not installed but now i dont even get this, i just get pictures, videos and cds/dvds options, it does not show or give me the option to watch tv.

ne help greatly recieved, ty

Normally the drivers will be in c:\drivers

Also check Vaio-Link drivers area for updated and original driver packages.

cheers for your reply Rob but if that were the case then win XP would or should pick them up automatic, but hence this is not the case.

therefore after you have lobbed your Holy Hand Grenade of Antioc I shall run away and continue on my search for the Holy Grail, LoL.

Not always, sometimes WIndows needs a little push

DaveEboy

Can you then plz tell me how to push windows into this as I have tried just bout evrythin I know, including doing a full factory restore which did nothin.

I dont really want to loose my VAIO to Sony for the couple of weeks it will probs take them to solve it.

Thanx

Have you tried add new hardware applet?
Does it show in device manager?

Have u sort it out then? just reply here if you can't manage it..

Obviously is problem of drivers in win XP?? My PC is working fine on the drivers and VAIO ZONE..

Is the problem started when you bought this PC first time or after??

I have tried add new hardware but says cant find driver for this device.

The multimedia video card does show up in device manager but with a question mark on top.

I have tried update driver and all that but no joy. Any other suggestions m8.

Cheers.

I'm having exactly the same problem, even after running a c drive recovery the TV tuner doesn't appear and I can't install the drivers for the PCI device windows keeps finding.

This is a real pain, the TV tuners never been any good and now it's completely knackered.

When I get chance I'm going to try a complete system recovery for both c and d drives but I need to do some backups first.

I tried install the mpeg decoder drivers for this device but windows just says they are not the correct ones. this sucks big time.

I found this FTP site with all sony's drivers on but none of them work.

If anyone here manages to solve this sh!t please post the solution.

cheers

Sony, pull your socks up.!!!!!!!!
