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)
1
Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all applications.
2
When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery
CD in the DVD-ROM drive. The Application Recovery utility loads
automatically.
3
When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the recovery process.
Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two Application
Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery program. You may be
prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application you wish to restore.
