    Hi folks,

    I have this "problem" since I got my Z. When I start vaio update 3 utility I get this error "messageID=0008" there are no updates for your model bla bla...

    However when I go to vaio support page, there are some new updates for my Z590N model (new Bios, USB patch...)

    I have downloaded new version of Viao Update utility 3.2.something but I had to uninstall my current version (3.1.something), which I did. However when I started this new setup message poped up "there is no previous version installed" - abort.

    I have checked esupport page where is said if you have problems with Vaio Update 3, to download Sony Shared Library which suppose to contain vaio update utility), I run installation but it doesn't install Vaio Update 3 :confused:

    Now, I can live with this esupport page regular visit updates, but it's kind of annoy.

    Any idea how to resolve this issue?


    Cheers,
    Miki

    This seems to be an issue with Vista edition of vaio update 3. It notifies of new updates automatically on XP just fine.

    with my ancient old FZ on XP it was working fine also. My wife has Toshiba U400 with Toshiba Tempo utility (like vaio update 3) which works flawlessly on Vista.
