    As far as I know it is located on "C: Instant On" in just one folder on my computer. So, I think it would be in one folder on the recovery discs. Not spread out.

    Sprite,

    When I load my disk 1 from my recovery disks, it asks me if I want to restore all or just individual programs. If I check just programs, it loads the Vaio Recovery Center. From there you can select IntantOn and any other pre-installed Sony program and/or drivers.

    Don't know. I just know you can install it from your Vaio Recovery Center. Go to Help and Support on your laptop, click on back-up and recovery and launch the recovery center. It should be there under backing up individual programs. I think it is a stand alone program. Haven't found where to download AV Mode Launcher from, maybe Sony website for your model number.

    hi sprite,

    did you find a solution to this? i got the same problem, Instant On is not listed anywhere under the individual programs of the recovery center.

    Please let me know.

    thanks,
    j
