Windows 7 reformat, Sony Vaio programs

Oct 29, 2009 1:39AM PDT

Hi guys,

I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer but I have lost now all my programs from Sony Vaio. Like Sony Vaio Musicbox, Movie Story,... Is there a way to get these back? I have installed all the drivers but I can't find anywhere I can download the programs. Is this possible?

Greetings,
Daniel

While the answer is "from Sony" I can't find the model number of the laptop. This means your answers may be incomplete.

Well I should maybe also say it's a European model. I live in Belgium. What does you mean though that Sony doesn't support it? I can't get the programs?

I supplied the link so YOU could look to see if Sony offered drivers and applications for Windows 7. Since you asked me to explain this I have to write that I can't. Why? I'm not a Sony rep or employee.

Good luck,
Bob

Works fine on it. I had no problem installing all of the drivers.
