that's quite odd, and you are trying to run this on 32bit win7 or 64bit win7?

win8 won't work, but win7 either version should work, have you consider create a new admin account and install sus then run it?

how about restart your PC on safemode then run SUS or PCC

I tried that also in Safe mode, I followed the instructions to BACK UP MY PHONE! Big mistake as the Xperia S flagship does not let you retrieve you backup! I mean what is all that about?

t's LAUGHABLE and disgraceful at the same time!

So now I have lost all my stuff, checking out after that SONY recommend i use a third party one instead which I have to buy! Why,Why do they put the backup software on this phone that does not work? SONY have got a complete lemon with this phones problems, I will not be recommending this model at all. Definately looking for a Sammy S3 now.

Welcome mate, Wait untill you try and retrieve a backup? Shall I give you the answer? You can't. Sony installed a backup device that does not work As the SONY advert says, make believe!!

For the record I got the java sorted on my mates PC, Up it came great! Attached phone with outdated software and guess what, It says? Software is up to date!!!Samsung S3 all the way bud..

This is a problem with Java 7 update 5 affecting many web apps. To fix, do the following. This worked perfectly for me:

1. Close all browser sessions as they will have the java plugin loaded.

2. Go to the Windows control panel and uninstall anything beginning with "Java". (Usually Java 7 update 5 and Java FX 2.1).

3. Go to http://www.oldapps.com/java.php and install Java 6 Update 33 (16.2Mb).

3. Now the sony software update web app will work.

If you're that bothered you can now uninstall JRE 6-33 and put JRE 7-5 back - some web pages will moan at you for not having the latest version so you'll probably have to do it anyway at some point.
