    Hello all,

    My model is VGN-CR354, I had WinDVD for VAIO but I uninstalled it. Now I want it back but I can't find it in the VAIO Recovery Center, nor the Softwares/Drivers downloads in the VAIO Online Support website.

    I don't have my recovery DVDs, didn't make ones. Still have the recovery partition, though.

    Any help?

    Didn't actually understand what you mean.

    You were referring to the recovery DVDs?

    My CD/DVD drive is not working probably at writing data, but it reads well, and when I took it to someone to burn the recovery disks for me in an external DVD writer, he told me that he couldn't burn them because of a Windows-related problem and that I have to format my C:\ partition and install a clean original factory OS so I could then make the DVDs. The thing is, I don't wanna format.

    All I want is to find a solution for the WinDVD for VAIO program, anyone could help at that?
