    Hello,

    after having changed my Toshiba Hard Drive myself ( with a same one ) on my Z12 laptop, i did a complete full and clean reinstallation of Windows 7 ( Pro 64 ). after a brief call to microsoft for a licence issue, all work fine, BUT i have 2 strange things :

    - Power button don't off when i power off the computer.... stay orange. does it need some specific drivers ?

    - i need the "VAIO windows organizer" driver : does someone could send me a link to download it ?

    thanks,
    stef

    ( EDIT : i have a score of 5.5 under Windows 7 pro 64... but with the NVIDIA graphic card ON ( 4.4 on INTEL ) : seems correct ? )

    You can change what power button can do in power settings.
    I haven't seen any utility name VAIO Windows organizer.

    When you installed Windows 7 from scratch, did you follow the procedure outlined in the clean install guides? It is important that the Sony utilities be installed in the right order.

    Also, WHICH Z12 are you talking about. A while ago I would have assumed VPCZ12, but now I have to ask. Which display driver are you using? Does device managed show any devices with problems?
