    Hi

    I just did a clean install of my Vaio Z1 (i7, 6gb, 256gb ssd VPCz11z9e).
    Everything seems to work except the Hybrid System. When i choose Stamina by switching the button, the light doesn't engage and the expected screen flicker doesn't happen - leading me to assume the system isn't working as it should.
    I installed the Nvidia 8.16.11.8880 driver from Sony's website. This didn't seem to alleviate the problem.

    Is there something I am missing? I followed the http://forum.notebookreview.com/sony/467565-vaio-z-vpcz1-clean-install.html guide for the clean install.

    Thanks

    - Morten

    Yes, both things are installed.
    Although i can't find Shared Library in the Programm overview. But just ran the setup again, so it should be installed.
    Hybrid system hasn't changed.
