I have a Sony VAIO laptop (VGN-C190P) and received the express upgrade kit for Windows Vista Business. I inserted the CD, followed the instructions and proceeded to install. After the BIOS was updated it took me to a screen where it said installation files were being copied; it was not actually installing Vista yet. Every time, at the exact same place, I received an error message that read "an unknown error has occured while searching for an unnamed file." The title bar read, "irsetup." I reset the BIOS to factory defaults and tried again but nothing changed. Every time I try, I get the same error message at the exact same place and the process does not go any farther.

Could this handle vista ultimate? Also how much do you think this specific brand would cost to buy?

Hey...

I have a Sony Vaio FS series laptop and cannot seem to get the hotkeys working (volume, brightness and the like). With Windows XP, there was an 'Event Service' program that I installed to get the keys working, which doesn't work on Vista.

I've also noticed a setting in the BIOS for it, "Hotkey Event Code", although to be honest I have no idea what it does (It worked before on the setting it's on now, so I'm leaving it).

Any ideas?

Cheers
