    Uninstall the Vaio Smart Network, and use Windows to connect to a wireless network. You must install the correct version of VSN that came with your model.

    You can download from Sony support here VAIO : Sony Europe

    You need to install all the Sony software and drivers in the right order for VSN to work properly.
    Generally, the order is Sony shared library, SFEP driver, Notebook utilities, and then VSN.

    Find these from the support site: Sony shared library, Sony firmware extension parser (available thru Windows Update), Vaio event service, Setting utility series, Vaio control center, and Vaio smart network.
    Install them in the order mentioned above.
