    I have no idea about the recovery disk part, but I think if you reinstall shared library, then install event center it should work. I do believe shared library is required.

    Shared Library is required, have the FW285J, did a clean install order is important as mentioned above by cjro9. Also check your Programs and Features (control panel) if Vaio Control Center is still there tell it to unistall then try reinstalling. (won't install with portions still there). As for your recovery discs from what I seen/read with 2 Sony laptops, it's a one time shot to burn those recovery DVDs.
