They tell me a replacement is £50!!!!<BR /><BR />I think I will just have to do without Sony Notebook setup.<BR /><BR />Could anyone tell me what Sony Notebook Setup actually does? Do I need it, or is it just a snazzy little program which configures the Laptop for me and saves me going through the functions in Control panel manually?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 11 Nov 2004 14:04:56 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/i-just-called-vaio-support/m-p/115278#M121708 mrgame_cat 2004-11-11T14:04:56Z Re: I just called Vaio Support https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/i-just-called-vaio-support/m-p/115279#M121709 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Could anyone tell me what Sony Notebook Setup actually does?
