VGN-A497GP & VGP-PRA1

[globenet]

HI,
I have a A497XP and have just purchased the VGP-PRA1.
I can't seem to be able to the TV tuner in the VaioZone, appreciate some assistance.

In addition, in system devices, the ATK0100 ACPI Utility has a conflict, how can I correct this? Please assist.

When I plug in a USB 2.0 device, there's a pop-up asking user to plug in the device into another port. How do I fix this?

This is my first Vaio appreciate some assistance.

Thanks

Congratulations benfmv !

Really pleased that you have managed to sort the problem. Sounds like you did it mainly for yourself, Well done!

Although the Remote Commander is designed for use with Vaio Zone, I think things like Volume Control work in other programs. You may have to add it to your Startup group so it loads on boot-up.

Have a look at page 100 onwards in your USER GUIDE

I Have a VGN A 217M Vaio bought in Italy (pls note there are a VGN A 217S sell here in italy whit a PRA1) and a VGN PRAV1 bought in USA, becouse someone of US sony guys on esupport said me that VGN PRAV1 (don't sell in europe) it's compatible whit ALL VGN A Sony Vaio!!
After see your post I tried to:
Download all NATIVE DRIVER OF VGN A 317s; nothing changes
Download a VAIO ZONE for VGN A 317s upgrade: I CAN'T install it becouse system say " I can't upgrade a Vaio Zone whit this installed version".
I don't know whta can I do... pls help me
Thanks in advance

Did you located and installed the Remote Commander program ?

Thanks for your assistance with the remote commander.
After installing, the remote worked.

However, I was still unable to get the TV tuner to work.
What is the driver for the TV-tuner?

Were you able to get yours to work?

Please advise,
REgards.

In fact I found the culprit it seems that it's the "Vaio TV Tuner Library" that prevents Vaio Zone from launching properly. At first I thought I simply had to re-install Vaio Zone but I was wrong.

It might be because my software version is intended for french computers and my docking station is a US one. Also I can't seem to be able to connect it to my antenna I'll give it another try tonight.

It's weird because I remember when I first succeeded to open Vaio Zone the TV option was present (but didn't work since not connected to an antenna).
