I've just upgraded my pc from XP to Windows 7 Ultimate and now the sound is not working. What can I do? Thanks

It's good that you have the recovery cds. Do NOT reformat the hard drive. Restore with the cds so you'll have a clean install . You will need to have any software cds that did not come with the original pc in order for them to rebuild the registry entries. That is the easiest way because there won't be any left over files from Windows 7 after you restore to XP.

Right click on desktop, go to 'graphics options' and then to 'output to'. Go to 'clone displays' and select 'monitor + built-in display'
It helps to have the TV plugged into the VGA port on your notebook before you turn that on.

You can run a Windows 7 upgrade advisor tocheck if your computer is suitable for Windows 7.

Hello,

There are basically no con's to upgrading. You will gain some features when you upgrade. You may have to install new device drivers for some devices like mouse, external hard drive to work properly, but this is unlikely.

Windows 7 Starter does not include:

* Aero Glass, meaning you can only use the Windows Basic or other opaque themes. It also means you do not get Taskbar Previews or Aero Peek.
* Personalization features for changing desktop backgrounds, window colors, or sound schemes.
* The ability to switch between users without having to log off.
* 64 bit version
* Multi-monitor support.
* DVD playback.
* Windows Media Center for watching recorded TV or other media.
* Remote Media Streaming for streaming your music, videos, and recorded TV from your home computer.
* Domain support for business customers.
* XP Mode for those that want the ability to run older Windows XP programs on Windows 7.

So, you can gain some additional features when you upgrade!

i assume you upgraded the operating system to windows 7 ultimate using a retail copy of disc.
vgnfj270/b only supports windows xp and vista home basic.

• this model of vaio doesnt have a camera driver and software for windows 7 ultimate. check this link

I'm guessing that those programs are not compatible with Windows 7. If they worked on Windows XP you can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate and you'll have backwards compatibility.

Thanks,
