I have a hung VAIO when trying to install a VAIO update utility. Can

I have a hung VAIO when trying to install a VAIO BIOS utility. I know it is not a good idea to shut down when actually installing a BIOS. Is this the same operation or is the utility install a separate operation?

 
Hi jamesjewell1, 
Welcome to Sony Community! 
It is important not to interrupt the process of Updating BIOS and also Formatting the laptop. Have you tried to access BIOS again? What is the complete model name of the laptop? You may try to reset BIOS then test the unit. Or try to reseat the CMOS battery of the laptop. 
Hope these help. 
Thanks,
Vincent

  • Error code when trying to install Camera Raw update 6.6 to CS5 Extended

    I am trying to install the camera raw update 6.6 to my newly purchased CS5 extended and I keep getting an error code U44M2P7, or U44M1P7. I really need to figure this out because it will not read the raw files from my Nikon D7000 without this update. Business will be picking up for me in the next few weeks so I hope to get this figured out soon. Thanks in advance for any help!
    Also, I run a Mac OS X v. 10.6.8

    Have you tried to download and install directly from Adobe, instead of using the Updater in PS?

  • I'm unable to install the Mac os x 10.7.3 update.  I get an error message each time my macbook tries to install the downloaded updates.  Can anyone help me?

    Each time my macbook restarts and tries to install the downloaded software updates, I get an error message telling me that there might have been an error during the download process of the updates and that he's unable to install the updates.  What can I do?

    What are you trying to download? If you are referring to the recent security update, just ignore the error and select the option to open the installer. It's fine.

  • I am trying to install an extension that requires FF 4.0. I downloaded 4.0 yet the extentsion says I still have 3.6.16 when trying to install.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF several times. When I try to install the extension (that requires FF 4.0), I get a pop-up that says I am still using an older version of FF and asks if I want to upgrade. When I click on "About Firefox", it says I have 4.0. In February, I downloaded FF Beta which I understand could be a problem. I also have read that you need to manually delete Beta files which I have done. I did a system search to see if any Beta files exist and no further files were found. I just want to make sure FF 4.0 is installed and be able to install the FGS extension.

    Thank you, cor-el, for your reply. I clicked on the link you provided, and it took me to Create a New Article. I'm assuming an article already exists for this. Can you instruct me on how to view this article. This is the first time I have ever had to refer to Mozilla Help. I have tried to do this on my own, but am having difficulty. Thanks for your help.

  • EX20 error when trying to install Premiere Pro update

    Hi,
    I tried to update PPr through the creative cloud interface and got a message saying that there may be a problem with disc space or permission (EX20).
    I have checked permissions on the C drive (I am on Windows 7 64bit) and it seems correct, and there is 330GB of free space.
    Any suggestions on getting the update to work, and what is the defaul setting for installs in Creative Cloud preferences ?  Mine is currently set to C:/temp.
    Audition installed and works fine, but PPr and Media Encoder both get the same error.
    Thanks for any help

    Anything called temp is considered a system directory even if the actual temp variables may be set otherwise. What you do can be all kinds of trouble. Almost inevitably you end up with a mess of temp files, temporarily extracted files and additional system files trying to overwrite each other. Use another folder! The default is C:\Program Files\Adobe.

    The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”.

    I'd try updating using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • I have the same problem as brnskdy i installed the latest update and can't connect to shop or server. windows 7. all other internet connections are ok

    i can not access itunes server after update to latest software

    Thank you all for these answers but none of the above worked...
    I forgot to mention but I run on a windows 7 64bits os.
    However, I uninstalled and installed again several times, nothing is getting better.
    - java -version is not recognized, but this tool detects my version : http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp
    - In java console, proxy are disabled and I tried to clear the cache --> no improvements
    - I did not tried 1.5 only 1.6 but several updates. No improvement either.
    Is someone accessing ESR/ID from windows 7 64bits ?
    Is there any other tools to install appart from JRE ?
    Regards,

  • Strange problem when trying to install programs

    Hi,
    I have big problems lately when trying to install programms like firefox.
    when i download the .dmg file with safari it reports that the file is damaged after completing the download. the strange thing is that it doesn't happen every time. only some programms fail.
    The cube which runs OSX had firefox installed but i tried to remove and reinstall it. But unfortunality that didn't work, now i am back to old safari which doesn't support all new webtechniques.

    The last version of Mozilla's Firefox browser for Mac OS X 10.3.9:
    Direct download Firefox 2.0.0.20, link:
    http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.20&os=osx&lang=en-US
    For iCab, note a 'correct version' on page for Mac OS X 10.3.9:

    Camino 1.6.10 for Panther 10.3.9:

    {There may also be a need for a later Flash and Shockwave player for
    the OS X version in the computer, not the newest one, but suitable one.
    These require Uninstalling the older version in order to upgrade; the
    players and uninstaller are available from Adobe online. This is another
    topic and gets into details that have been spelled out elsewhere.}
    You can use Camino as a default browser for your OS, in place of
    the much older Safari last supported by Panther.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT1926 when trying to instal itunes update i got an error, will downloading itunes again erase my current library?

    When trying to instal an itune update on my Pc i got an error message, should i download itunes again, and if i do so will it erase my current library?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

    When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I am already connected. This also occurs when trying to install an Adobe update.

    A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
    To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
    If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
    Try this first:
    Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible)  then power off the modem
    Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
    Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
    Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    Check the network for proper operation
