Why does the System Properties window display a slower CPU speed than the
maximum?
This is normal. Because your computer's CPU utilizes a type of CPU speed controlling technology for power conservation
purposes, System Properties may display the current CPU speed instead of the maximum speed.
What should I do if my computer does not accept my password and returns a message,
Enter Onetime Password?
If you enter a wrong power-on password three times consecutively, the
Enter Onetime Password
message appears and
Windows will not start. Press and hold the power button for more than four seconds to check that the power indicator light
turns off. Wait for 10 to 15 seconds, then restart your computer and enter the correct password. The password is case
sensitive, so be sure to check letters for the current case before you enter the password.
What should I do if my game software does not work or it keeps crashing?
❑
Check the web site of the game if there are any patches or updates to download.
❑
Make sure you have installed the latest video driver software.
❑
On some VAIO models, the graphics memory is shared with the system. The optimal graphic performance in such a case
is not guaranteed.
Why doesn't my screen turn off after the automatic turn-off time has passed?
Some software applications or screen savers are designed to temporarily disable the feature of your operating system that
turns off the computer screen or places the computer into Sleep mode after a certain period of inactivity. To solve this
problem, exit the running software application(s) or change the current screen saver.
