Hi Tony and welcome,

The V2S was never sold with Giga Pocket installed. By the time your Vaio was released, Giga Pocket had become a part of Vaio Zone and you should be able to record and play back TV by going to Start -> All Programs -> VAIO Zone -> VAIO Zone Settings and setting up your TV Channels.

The specifications for the V2S show the preinstalled software as: -

Adobe Acrobat Reader, Click to DVD, DVGate Plus, Hotkey Utility, Memory Stick Formatter, Microsoft Works, Norton Internet Security, Norton Password Manager (Trial), PictureGear Studio, RecordNow!, SonicStage, Sonicstage Mastering Studio, VAIO Edit Components, VAIO Media, VAIO Power Management, VAIO System Information, VAIO Update, VAIO Zone, WinDVD for VAIO.

VAIO Zone and Giga Pocket are not downloadable. Nor can you download any of the preinstalled software.

You can't buy factory discs from anyone but vaio Link as the MOD file format that the bundled software hides in will only unpack in response to a hardware serial number specific to your machine. Kpac.exe used to used with .pac files but very few programs are loaded in that format. In a nutshell you need to bite the bullet and buy recovery disks from Vaio link and give the serial number up Tones. Cost is about 30 euros

Thanks Thalamus, I have contacted e-support twice but as of yet had no reply. I will take your advise and buy the discs direct from sony vaio. Cheers for your help, Tony
