I used a VGN T2XP running XP for 5 years and had little or no problems. Unfortunately the battery gave out and I discovered that a new one cost nearly £400. As my machine was somewha slow and had servedme well I decided to upgrade to this piece of rubbish. It looks good but it is useless. I was so upset after the first few weeks that the Sony Centre even chaged it for me. However he replacement hasa proved no better. I lose my network & internet connection at least 4 times a day. It blue screens onb me at least once a week. It won't recognise my new wireless printer and won't even let me load the Kodak software frm the CD that came with the machine. My old T2, whilst painfully slow, immediately recognises the printer and allows me to print. My old T2 never loses its internet connection sitting right next to my new machine. My old T2 has never blue screened in 5 years.
When I lose my internet connection the ONLY way forward is to turn close eerything, turn off the machine and start all over again. If you try and diagnose on the few times it permits you to, it informs me that my wireless switch is OFF or there is no problem detected !!
I went and bought a Vodaphone 3G card in he hope that this would solve the issue. No chance it will only work with the Vodaphone dongle and won't recognise it if you install internally and you still loses the connection and the machine hangs just the same.
This machine is driving me bonkers, all VAIO support can suggest is to do a factory reset and I see from other threds that this solves very little and they are just hoping to cure the problem and trying to pass the buck.
I want to throw this machine through the Sony Centre's window and go and buy an Apple. Before I do so and get arrested can anybody offer me any hope of getting this machine to work?
