ricktendo Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 @Nadeem I'm afraid thats a question for the makers of VAIO Rafael and Zoronax, I cant say that I have ever had that error... The only thing I can think of is try reinstalling VAIO and then Right Click on Sidebar.exe and Patch and Run Vista Executable (VAIO Patch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
