of course keep all the stuff the original list said to. Or what would be way easier is to do a clean install and then re download drivers from Sony's website, trust me since cleaning my brothers SR took almost 3 hours and it still has like 50-60 processes running at any time (but I upgraded him to 4GB, so he is fine). -
I would keep
vaio power management (needed to use the battery care / long life function)
Protector Suite QL (Upek) needed if you use your fingerprint reader
WinDvd for Vaio for playing DVDs
Click to Disc (for ripping DVDs)
Roxio Easy Media Creator (creating disk images etc)
Vaio Mode Switch - for your mode switch to work -
all VAIO apps are not visible in add/remove programs. how can I uninstall them?
-
Check your other posting and see if that works.
-
Just reinstall your OS and install the stuff you need, instead of spending way more wasted time trying to find out what to uninstall.
