Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How do I recover applications or drivers that came with my computer if

the files are corrupted or deleted?

A: The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual applications

and device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. Reinstalling an

individual device driver or software title may correct a problem you are

experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to recover the entire

contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all the software titles that

shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery CD(s).

You must be in Windows to run the Application Recovery CD(s). The application

will not run from DOS. If you have any questions on using the Application

Recovery CD(s), contact Sony Customer Support.

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

1Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all applications.

2When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery

CD in the CD-ROM drive (not supplied). The Application Recovery utility

loads automatically.

3When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen

instructions to complete the recovery process.

Q: Why isn’t the CD-ROM drive reading a CD?

A: After inserting a CD, you must wait a few seconds for the CD to be detected

before trying to access it. If your drive reads some CDs but not others, check the

shiny side of the disc for dirt or scratches. You may also need to clean the CD-

ROM drive lens with a CD-ROM cleaner.

✍Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two Application

Recovery CDs, insert thefirst CD to run the Application Recovery program. You may be

prompted to insert the secondCD, depending on the application you wish to restore.

incompatible or conflicting drivers, damaged files, or non-responsive hardware.

For troubleshooting information, you can search Windows Help. From the Start

menu, select Help, click the Contents tab, click Troubleshooting, and then click

Windows 98 Troubleshooters. Click the subject for which you want information,

and then answer the questions that are appropriate for your problem.

Q: Why is my system running slowly?

A: The speed varies depending on the number of applications that are open and

running. Close any applications that you are not currently using. Increasing the

system memory may also help. The computer has two memory slots.

Q: Why is there no sound in any application?

A: There are independent controls for your system volume.

❑There is a volume control in the Windows task tray. Click the icon and

slide the level bar up to increase the volume.

❑In addition to adjusting the volume, check that the Mute check box is not

selected in the Windows volume control .

Microsoft Word 2000 will not be recovered. Use the supplied Word 2000

CD-ROM to recover this application.

Power Management Tips

consumption mode, you should close that application before your

computer enters a power-saving mode.

❑For maximum audio and video performance, use PowerPanel to

select either the AC Power Profile or the Power Management Off

profile.

❑If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either

attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your

computer and insert a fully charged battery.

If Your Computer Does Not Start

❑Check that the computer is plugged into a power source and that it is

turned on. Check that the power indicator on the front panel of the

computer indicates that the power is on.

❑Check that the battery is inserted properly and that it is charged.

❑Make sure there is no diskette in the floppy disk drive.

❑Confirm that the AC adapter and all cables are connected firmly, as

described in “Connecting Peripheral Devices” in the VAIO®Z505

SuperSlim Pro™Notebook User Guide that came with your computer.

❑If you plugged the computer into a power strip or UPS, make sure the

power strip or UPS is turned on and working.

❑If you are using an external display, check that it is plugged into a

power source and turned on. Check that the brightness control is

adjusted correctly. See the manual that came with your display for

details.

❑Moisture condensation may have occurred. Do not use the computer

for at least one hour and then turn on the computer.

check deck’s power status, cable connection and so on.”, while you are

recording images to a digital video device using DVgate, close all open

a digital video device while using DVgate sometimes causes this to occur.

For more information on DVgate, see the DVgate online help.

Pro™ Notebook for details on using Sony Notebook Setup.

Jog Dial™Control

If you wish to use the Jog Dial control to read your e-mail or launch a web

browser, you need an Internet connection and you must use Microsoft®

Outlook®Express.

If You Get an Error Message When Your Modem Tries to Dial

If you get a message saying your modem is unable to complete a dialup

connection, the message may be appearing because you are dialing from

an area where an overlay area code*has been implemented. In such areas,

even local calls require dialing the area code, or 1 + the area code, before

the 7-digit telephone number. If you are dialing from such an area, you

need to configure your dialup software to dial the area code, or 1 + the

area code, before the 7-digit number.

For instructions on how to do this, consult your dialup software’s manual

or online help. The same instructions will also tell you how to configure

your dialup software to dial a 9 or other number to access an outside line

(you may need to do this if, for instance, you are dialing from an office

building).

*An overlay area code is a second area code added to the same geographical area as

an existing area code.

Hardware Temperature

The AC adapter or the bottom panel of your computer may become

warm. This is the result of CPU operation and does not indicate a

malfunction of the computer. The actual temperature varies depending

on the peripherals and software you are using and the length of time that

the unit is in use. The AC adapter may also become warm when the

computer is off and the battery is charging.

!Do not cover the computer or adapter with clothing, blankets, or any other material when

the computer is turned on. Covering these components may result in damage to your unit.

When connecting the supplied AC adapter to an AC outlet that has more than two outlets,

do not plug the AC adapter into an outlet that is obstructed by another adapter. To

prevent fire or electrical shock, the adapter must be firmly plugged into the outlet. If

necessary, use a separate AC outlet.
