VAIO PCV-LX55G / PCV-LX55 SERIES

Hi

Lasts year a friend got me a VAIO PC but there´s a problem...

the cd´s from Sony came in JAPANESE ...!!!????

In January i got a WinXp Home Edition on my language (not a copy) an oryginal

but when i install the SO i´ve got a problem... the SO goes all the way to the end but
when it´s supose to start up with the question to register the SO my monitor (TFT) goes down and dont show any image.. but by the sound of the speakers i know that the Windows Xp started just fine and i am in the desktop of my PC...

Does any one know what the problem is??


PS- My language is PT (Portuguese)

Hi

Try going into safe mode (F8 before XP logo appears) and try to install a different display driver.

Hmm, sorry I don't really understand this either :slight_frown: I don't know what you can do really, as Sony Europe won't support Japanese machines. Getting Sony Japan to look at it would be very costly too.

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem with a PCV-LX2. I try to install XP from a standard CD and then the display goes blank when entering the XP session. There is no problem on VGA display mode. I suppose that the PC requires specific drivers for the display.

I don't have the Sony installation CD and can't find the driver. Do you have any idea on where I can look at it ?
