Hi 1littlestar and welcome.

have you done a disk check for errors

There are various Hotfixes and updates for your model on Vaio-Link.

If that has no effect then you may wish to consider a system recovery using your recovery disks. Backup your C drive data first as the drive will be formatted during this process.

I have just tried to download 2 hotfixes but was not possible because i have got SP2 which is newer than the dates of the Hotfixes, I guess i could uninstall SP2 but i don't know if that is Possible. Is it possible to uninstall SP 2 without to much trouble ??

Thanks

Do you see anything in the error log?

Start > Control Panel > Administration Tools > Event Viewer

Hi Kee-Lo, Great Advice, I never knew about event viewer, 3 Warnings are logged and the sources are : i8042prt and E100B, Followed by Information Tcpip which when opened say's this : The System detected that network adaptor /DEVICE / TCPIP _ ( Followed by my computer numbers ) was disconnected from the network and the adaptors network has been released.

Thanks For Your Help.

No problem

Might be a good idea to refresh those network drivers

Also grab you guessed it.....TuneUp Utilities from here it will automatically fix any bugs and do everything it reccommends. If your computer is cold get some ugg boots, a kiddie blanket and a hot water bottle but don't give it a cup of coco ......that would be silly.

You need to uninstall the device from Device Manager;

1) Right click My Computer
2) Click on Properties
3) Click on the hardware tab
4) Click on Device Manager
5) Click on the + next to network devices
6) Right click your network card
7) Click uninstall
😎 Reboot your VAIO
9) Windows should reinstall your drivers
