    Reinstalling vista via retail disc, installed all drivers from website, and have two unknown devices in device manager, none of them is the Globetrotter WWAN card or Smart Card Interface, they are not present?, are Sony purposely hiding them, how do you unlock them?

    TZ 31WN/B UK

    Also need TPM Driver and Smart Network does not work, any ideas?

    Does restore discs work if you replaced hard drive with smaller one and removed optical drive?

    You need to install the drivers in a specified order appropriate for your model.
