    Hi everyone, I 'm having strange trouble with a clean vista install on my Vaio SR. Can anyone of you please help.

    I got all the latest drivers etc. from the sony support website for my Model.

    I have a SR140E with Vista Home premium. I installed Visa Business with a Vista DVD and as per the instructions, started by installing the firmware extension parser and then the sony shared library and so on.

    From what I can tell, the extension parser installed correctly because it tells me that it installed correctly and press "finish" to continue etc.

    But when I install Sony Shared Library, it starts and when i'm at the "installation in progress.. please wait" screen, it just exits without any error. I get a "this program may not have installed correctly" message and if I click on "reinstall with recommended settings" i get an error saying "This application can only be run on Windows Vista"

    I get the same thing with some of the drivers.... I am sing an original Vista Business DVD so I don't know what is wrong.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
