    Hi , This is my first time post in here , hopefully, i can get some solution from your folts.
    I bought a Sony SZ650n/c from BestBuy a month ago , wasn't impressive with the Sony performance,especially the H-HD, i believed that sony sz has the lowest performance compare to other brand who has the same specification.(ps i am not *****ing ,the states the fact)

    After a month usage that the system running very slow ,the startup takes forever ,and the harddrive seems to working real hard for something , the system takes 10 min to clear out the start up til' the hard drive stop read with disabled all unnecessisary start up program already ,therefore , i decided to run a clean install with WinXP PRO .Unfortuntely, i can't get all the drivers together , there are always few drivers were missing ,or few yellow tag shown on device manage.
    So i give it a shot to Vista Ultimate, still no luck(but much better),the issues was :
    1: Camera won't detected

    2: Has an error occurred during installation of Nvidia Driver,so the driver can't be install at all (under speed mode)

    3: The Smart Wifi Non-Functioning

    4: Massive Storage shown yellow tag under Device management

    5: Two Unknow Device with yellow tag under Device management

    6: Fn key non functioning for Brightness Ajustment

    7: Stamina/Speed switch non functioning(No action taking during switching,before a pop up show up and tells you need to restart to make the effect)


    So , i really need so suggestion from you folts ,especailly, a Application/Driver installation follow in order guide(Sony's didn't wotk for me )

    It's very very greatful for your helps ,and i sorry for my poor english.
