    Hi all,

    I have been messing with clean installation of Vista on my FZ21S.

    I've noticed a few small issues afterwards - I'm not sure these are real problems, the standard VAIO install might behave the same way. May I check with you guys if these issues behave the same on your VAIO FZ? Thanks

    1. When I insert an HDMI cable, the main laptop LCD screen changes into a 16bit colour depth mode, and I can't change it back to 32bit until the HDMI cable was removed. Is this a normal behaviour?

    2. When I start WIN DVD BD with a BD inserted with or without the HDMI, Windows desktop colour scheme changes into a basic mode (no transparencies). Normal?

    3. My Audio playback device is defauted to HDMI device - If I have an HDMI cable inserted, the sound is played back via the HDMI device, even when the playback window (Windows media player) is placed on the laptop LCD. I thought what should happen, is the sound should play back via laptop speakers if the playback window is on laptop LCD, and the sound switches to HDMI device when I move the playback window onto my HDMi connected TV?

    Thanks very much in advance.
