Vaio recovery problem

[skarhund]

I have installed the standard install that comes with my VAIO TX5, but when I loaded to VISTA for the first time, it asked me to click continue to install the applications. I pressed cancel and the system ran fine with all drivers and none of the **** software.

Everytime I load windows, it asks me to click continue to install the applications, but I just press cancel evey time as I dont want them.

My Question is, is there a way of getting rid of that bluey/grey screen that asks me to install the applications, or so i just have to press cancel every time I load it up.

Skarhund
please help me.

Hi Skarhund and welcome to Club Vaio.

You need to stop VARU.EXE from running automatically at startup.

Usually in Vista you will find this in Task Scheduler. Start -> Type in 'Task Scheduler' in the start search and open it. Delete the task to run VARU.EXE.

Usually in XP you will find it in the Startup Group. Start -> Run -> msconfig and uncheck the box next to VARU.EXE under the Startup Tab.
