    Hi there I've been searching around for Sony's Wireless Switch Settings Utility for my vaio z26gn, the Sony site doesn't seem to have them. Where can I download this utility?

    Thanks

    there is a way around that. Download universal extractor and extract the files from the installer you downloaded. Then run the installer (setup.exe) from the extracted file. That will bypass the check and you will have the utility.
