Yes, I got the online thing worked out. Now when I insert a disk into
the cd drive I get some sony crap and can't see what is on the disk. 
Are you suggesting format? Tthen I could install my xp pro on it. 
That would solve the problems but it all takes so much time. 
I just updated it with sp2 and all updates for my daughte but it is
such a screwup if Sony is fouling up things. 
Please explain further if you can.
