The sound of my computer’s fan is too loud

setting to Quiet. This setting slows down the CPU fan speed. See the

I cannot print
The default setting for the printer port mode is correct for most printers. 
If you cannot print, try changing the printer port mode. In Sony 
Notebook Setup, select the Printer tab. If the printer port mode is set to 
ECP, change it to bi-directional. If the printer port mode is set to 
bi-directional, change it to ECP. See “Displaying the Sony Notebook

Power Management
The operating system may become unstable if a lower power state such as 
system hibernation is initiated and then changed before the operating 
system completely enters the lower power state. To restore the computer 
to its normal operating stability, close all open applications, button 
forward and hold it there for four seconds or more to completely shut 
down the computer.
