I have a sony vaio desktop, and i recently reformatted my hard drives, and upgraded my OS to XP professional. I've heard that with a different OS, the sony application cds do not work. I didn't really care, because i didn't mind losing those programs, except for Giga Pocket. I extracted the applications from the sony.pac from the cd, and it had the setups for different programs. However, none of them worked because there was a missing file. All I want is to watch tv on my computer, and not the internet TV. i have a TV tuner card integrated. help... please?!

Did you extract the UTILS.exe file and run this first, before trying to install from the .pac files, this reboots your pc and looks like it does nothing else, but i have rebuilt my Vaio with XP Pro numerous times and got giga pocket to work and all the other apps. Im not sure where this file is. I may of even got it by doing a factory restore and then exploring the C drive and backing up the drivers folder to cd. Its about 8 meg in size. hope this helps you on the way to getting away from XP home.
