    Hi, Ive got a big problem that im trying to solve but with no luck so far.
    Ive got a VAIO AR790U laptop and when I reinstaled my Vista Ultimate with all the drivers, heaps of troubles showed up. I worked out most of them except of that I cant make CAMERA to work, drivers from official site dont work and for the laptop its like theres not even a camera hardware instaled.
    Also the WIRELESS DEVICE SWITCH used to have besides 2.4 and 5GHz wifi network also option for BLUETOOTH which is not there any more so I have to eneable it in control panel all the time which makes this utility useless.
    Please, can anybody help me?

    400MB of files... how do I use it?
    I cant even see the camera in my device manager so how would I possibly start that reinstal?
    And wifi program got reinstaled couple of times and it doesnt work with BT as it should..... :(
    Is there any way I could order recovery CD-DVD from SONY?

    That 300mb of files is complete recovery cd of the Z. It includes ALL drivers, reinstall them all since you're having camera + wan + wifi trouble.
