Hi,

If it is a driver issue then you need to contact Sony Support as they are

responsible for those drivers since the computer was equipped with

them.

This tells you how to check and set Services.

Then check to be sure ALL the default Services are set correctly at the Defaults.

Start - type in Search box ->  Services          find at top of list - Right Click on - RUN AS ADMIN

=======================================================

One thing you might should try is an InPlace Upgrade/Repair Installation

which allows you to keep the programs and data though redundant

backups are always a good idea.
