The machine is so slow to start, is unstable, sometimes operates so slowly that I assume that it has locked up, typically takes over 5 minutes to start and that is without any other apps being added and without the crud of two years of registry buyild-up.<BR />I assume that it is Vista which is slowing it down and what I need to know is do I dump it, take a loss and try to find another used T2 or is there a simple way of getting rid of vista and starting again. If it is complicated then I won't try, since if expensive stuff like this doesn't work "out of the box" then it is the manufacturer who is at fault, not the idiot who bought it. (me)<BR />All I wanted was a light weight portable with a decenrt battery life, I don't want any of the Sony vaio media/entertainment stuff (although as I spend three months each year in the USA it would be nice of the Sony gestapo to let me play videos in both region formats)<BR /><BR />Help needed, or bargain Vaio for sale<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:44:30 GMT bek33 2008-04-28T13:44:30Z HELP https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/help/m-p/109674#M62324 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Having "upgraded" from a VGN T2XP to a TZ serires PCG 4L2M which came with Vista business edition and Office 2007 I am finally contemplating buying an Apple.
