    Having some trouble with my Sony Z...

    First, I can't seem to move my Recycle Bin to the bottom edge of the screen, it keeps getting pushed to 2 inches from the bottom... weird. (I can move it anywhere else on the desktop...)

    Also, I can't seem to switch back to Speed Mode :( The window that says it's switching pops up, but the light indicator by the keyboard never changes, and it stays in Stamina mode...

    This is after I used this guide to do a semi-clean install:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=146033
    I followed the directions very carefully...

    Any ideas?

    Edit: Oh yeah! I also disabled some services... Does anyone else know if there's a specific one needed for the graphics switching?

    Hmm... try right-clicking on an empty area of the desktop and make sure that "Auto arrange" and "align by grid" is unchecked in the "Arrange by Icons" selection?
