    I did a clean install and began loading drivers. I have a few problems. The bluetooth driver gets stuck at 63% everytime, the audio sriver appears to load but there is no sound, I keep getting new hardware found notices but Windows can't find the drivers and I can't tell what hardware it is for.

    Any ideas to help me with getting everything to work?

    Open up device manager, through my computer(properties), find the hardware that there is a question mark for, and right click update hardware and select the CD, and tell it to search there.

    They are all unknown devices, except the cd drive which says it cannot find a driver for. I select the the and even run the CD-Rom driver and it still asks for it the next time I boot.

    What gives?

    I am having the same problems with a clean install of win xp Pro Sp2 on a Vaio TX650P. I can get everything loaded except my sound card and dial up modem. I have a unkown PCI device which does not except any drivers from the recovery cd's or the downloaded drivers from sony support. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have followed the Sony Instructions on doing a clean install and still no avail...this yielded the bluetooth driver hanging at 63% when following their driver loading sequence. I have to load it first to overcome that. Thanks in advance for any help.

    When installing the toshiba bluetooth drivers a lot of windows for new hardware found will pop up. It's normal behavior. I dunno what you can do for the stuck at 63% other than suggest you to download another copy off of the sony support site.

    For your audio problem make sure you get the sony original drivers instead the new driver's from the updated section on the sony support website. OR you can go to realtek and download the latest drivers (more recent than sony's site) and download the HD audio drivers.
