Sony eSupport Error Operating system not found or missing operating system

Official support has gone by the wayside for Windows XP. If you have a working internet connection on the computer you should be able to update most things with Windows Update. If you are having trouble getting a specific driver you can download it directly from the link below. If you are having trouble getting an internet connection on the machine, consider downloading the "Network Drivers" and move them to the computer using a USB Flash Drive. VAIO Desktop Computer

You have to stay within the confines of the numbers! The only changes that you can use are the A and B, When you start to vary the model numbers, the features change as can the location of parts like jacks and ports on the outside and plugs and pins on the inside. SONY is not part friendly and not cheap to replace.

The modem might have been obviously destroyed but so is the rest of the computer. The connection that you are talking about is the NIC and it is showing signs that it was damaged by the surge also. That means all the delicate electronic parts in the computer are toast. Time for a new computer.

There are a lot of different sony vaio models. You need to find the model number. Sony provides some replacement adaptors and batteries. And Battery World in Australia probably has access to such. You may not be particularly happy about the prices but you likely would get something that would work. That's the problem with going after good batteries for old equipment. The cost may be half of what buying a new computer would be. There are other sources but confirming which are legit takes research time.

It's possible, but highly unlikely, as most memory caps are limitations of the hardware rather than software, yes, its possible that a bios update will alllow you to use more memory, but that is only possible if the hardware supports it and chances are if the hardware would support it, they would have configured the system to use it initially, so I concur with ray.. I highly doubt it. Now, with that said, it won't hurt to throw in more memory to try it, if you can borrow some, I definitely would not run out and buy 2 2 gb sticks of ddr2 5300 memory to try it, keep in mind that windows 32 bit os won't see more than 3 gigs of memory anyway.

Type "regedit" in the Start menu

In the window that opens navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Backup your registry key as what you're about to do is risky (with ProfileList highlighted, click File and Export and choose a backup name)

Then scan through the ProfileList IDs and delete any with ProfileImagePath found in it as it shouldn't be there

Close regedit, reboot and next time KB3081424 should install properly

Totally. You just need to be mindful of the power demands of potential new card when choosing that card, selecting a graphics card with similar power rating. If it requires more power - then you may have to consider p.supply mods. If you are going to have to change one thing, then another to offset the first change (rob Peter to pay Paul), look at overall cost V. complete pc upgrade
