    hey guys,

    the vaio recovery center on my Z crashed together with the system - I had a major crash after installing bluetooth drivers, following bsod and sending me straight to the recovry process - this has worked out with a microsoft recovery cd, but since then i cannot start most of the programmes. they just don't react like they were not installed at all.

    now i try to recovery the laptop to use the vaio recovery center which gives me the error: plugings.xml missing

    now, i wonder whether someone can send me your plugings.xml from your vaio recovery folder.
    on your Z, the file should be located here: C:\Program Files\Sony\vaio recovery

    any other ideas hhow to come out of this?
