I have a VGN-AR41L and me being not very good with laptops "but learning very fast" lol have a problem. Just recently my laptop froze on me and eventually I could not do anything with it. So I did a system restore and then tried to update windows. It wont download the upgrades and I get a error code 80240016. My freind had a look at it for me but was unable to fix it, his sugestion was to reload everything back to when it was new a total system reload. Unfortunately I dont know how to do it and I didnt make a system restore disc when I first bought my Vaio. Any help would be appreciated as its driving me crazy. I also have let my trial period of norton expire which i probably the cause of it and dont want to buy the full version until I restore my system. I have saved all my important files so If I can just restart it as though I have just baought then I think it will be ok I can then reload my files. Any Ideas please reply thanks <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.co.uk/html/@3191CA7235A406D833094BA2DD1CF2FF/images/smilies/011.png" alt=":slight_smile:" title=":slight_smile:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:00:15 GMT LouiseGeller 2008-01-22T13:00:15Z Need help restoring system please help https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/pcs-accessories/need-help-restoring-system-please-help/m-p/3992#M65208 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hello, please please would someone help me ??
