    Every time I try to install an update I get "This update ia not intended for use with your computer model" message. It was like this since day one. The model is VGN-CR220E. The original Vista home OS.

    Please help because several programs (like SONY camera capture utility) do not work properly without new updates. Thank you.

    Maybe something damaged some information in you laptop?

    There is a file which stores manufacturer settings (And XP Service Pack 3 actually replacefd that :D) which might have gotten replaced or corrupted by accident.

    There is definitely some file which stores the system information and "presents" it to the Sony Update, so if that gets damaged - well, you've got a problem.

    If you can, regarding software, etcetera, I think restoring the whole system is the easiest answer.

    But before you do, please wait for other replies.
