    Hey all,

    I keep getting a message stating that any updates for my drivers on a VGN - C25G are not intended for use with my model (all details are correct). So, I need to resort to the universal extractor to get my FN keys, Camera and Bluetooth working on this vaio...

    I have never used the universal extractor before, and am uncertain where i would need to place the extracted files once the UE has finished.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Regards

    J

    After being mesmerized by the generousity of sony in allowing its drivers to be downloaded at a max of 12b/s (thats 2 hours for a 3MB file!), My next hurdle was when running any of these files, the error "This is update is not intended for your system" always happens, and the update automatically shuts down.

    My Bios lists the correct model number and I recieve this error when utilising their recovery disks also, so I need a plan B, and I am hoping for the universal extractor to be that Plan.
