    I have Sony Vaio VGN-UX280P and I've been having problems downloading and installing drivers. Some of the drivers work, some of them don't. It's a micro PC and has 2 built in cameras. I tried installing and reinstalling drivers. The one in the back that would make the computer work as a camera to point at someone and be able to take a picture with the capture button. But for some reason only the one in the front works. And the Vaio Camera Utility won't even load although the capture utility will. I also want to be able to get the fingerprint reader to work and it had a Original - UPEKĀ® Driver thing on the Sony eSupport site for it. I installed it and I tried installing Original - UPEKĀ® Protector Suite QL to use it, but it says that the .exe installer file or whatever isn't a valid win32 application. I tried downloading it with my regular Dell PC. I put it on the Sony Vaio and it said it was missing a .dll file. I'm really really stressed out here is there something that I can do to fix these problems?

    Sounds like you just need to restore it? If you don't have media I'd order recovery DVD's from Sony.

    Thanks, but after trying to fix one of my friend's computer, a COMPAQ, it said to hold F10 to get into recovery mode so I thought I'd try it with the micro PC and I'm trying it right now.
