Nothing personal but you are wrong, it's a program wich checks for updates, downloads and install the updates. So yes it is very special.

Why do you think we don't want to go to vaio website to check for updates.....well what about a program wich should work should ckeck download and install updates automatically. I, and I think also a lot of other people prefer automatically instead of checking every week or whatever if there are important updates....:smileyconfused:

About the problem, you can fix it by recovering everything. Sony could not tell me what the problem is. I recovered my laptop and suddenly it worked again.

Carelino,

I may be wrong here but I thought that was what the VAIO Update balloon in the task tray was for..:smileyhappy:

See the text from Vaio Update below:-

VAIO Update provides you with a selection of updates available for your VAIO computer and alerts you to critical issues such as computer viruses.

When it appears, click on the VAIO Update balloon in the task tray. Your web browser will take you directly to the VAIO support web page for update information and important warnings.

He, I think I found the problem.....now I have to find the solution. When I go to help & support center and choose the option e-support and suboption Acces your e-support I get the same message:
"You are currently not connected to the internet. Please verify your connection and try again. If you need more information on how to set up your internet connection, click a link on the left.
To set up an internet connection now, click HERE to start the New Connection Wizard".

Well I click on the HERE and then I choose the option "view wireless networks in range". Then I can choose to connect to a wireless network. But the strange thing is (since I am already connected) the view in wireless networks tells me I am Disconnected on my own network.....and I can only choose to disconnect from a disconnected wireless network. But when I choose to connect again everything freezes....

stange very strange...

Well guys, I fixed the problem myself....

1. Go to help and support center
2. Click on support button
3. Click on the Supput option: "VAIO link"
4. Right here you should get the message that you are currently not connected to the internet. And that you should click HERE to set up one....Click on the HERE
Network wizard starts up....NOW if you have a WIRELESS connection DO NOT pick "view wireless networks in range". Just click on next and setup your network connection depending on your connnection.
When you are finshed VAIO UPDATE WILL WORK AGAIN, also VAIO LINK option in help and support.

GOOD LUCK

Just found this link and you have saved the day ... woo hoo

The updater on my FE21S hasnt worked for a while but I just updated directly from Sony support.... That was unil I got sick of ZoneAlarm giving me problems so removed it and installed Comodo. Works great so far but the Comodo updater seemed to use the same settings as the vaio updater and have spent some serious time looking for a solution.

Next time will look here first

Cheers
