VAIO register pop up

iremacas — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 13:21:10 GMT

Hi I'm new and not sure if I'm posting this in correct place but can anyone help me to get rid of the Vaio register pop up that keeps appearing and says not connected to internet when I am conected, I did register in May 2007 and don't know why this has started to happen. My VAIO model is VGC-LA2. Been all thru the self service support and e-support but got nowhere. How do I request a PM, PLEASE HELP ME.
Thanks Weeyin

Hi weeyin,

welcome to Club Vaio..

You should be able to stop the registration pop-up from starting by going to start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scheduled Tasks..

In task scheduler you should have three windows, Overview of Task Scheduler, then below this Task Status and finally at the bottom Active tasks..

In task scheduler go to the bottom section of the centre column (called active tasks)

Double click the task you wish to stop (possibly VOR.exe) and in the new window select delete...

Hi Thalamus, thanks for the help got as far as active tasks but dont see VOR.exe but wondered if the MCVRegistrationReminder1 would be the one to delete.
Thanks Weeyin

Hi Weeyin,

Yes MCVRegistrationReminder1 sounds like it would be the cause of the registration pop-up..

Hi weeyin,

Do you have anything else listed in Active tasks?

If you look on the left hand side of the Task Scheduler window, you should see Task Scheduler(local) below that Task Scheduler Library.

Double click on Task Scheduler Library to expand, you should then have to folders, Microsoft & Sony, click on the Sony file. This will help identify the Sony tasks that are scheduled to run..

Hi Thalamus, Yes VAIO Update is the only task in there and the status is Running should I try and delete this?
I also found there were 4 reminders in active tasks and have deleted them too.
I could only get back into MCV via an email reply. When I clicked on the Club Logo it seemed to be stuck at 67% on download of latest version.
So far the pop up has stopped but don't want to count my chickens to soon.
Cheers Weeyin

Hi weeyin,

No there is no need to delete VAIO Update..

Did you have problems with My Club Vaio before you removed the registration tasks.?
