Sony PCG-F610 Manual

Q: How do I recover applications or drivers that came with my computer if 
the files are corrupted or deleted?

A: The Application Recovery CDs allow you to reinstall individual 
applications and device drivers if they are corrupted or accidentally erased. 
Reinstalling an individual device driver or software title may correct a 
problem you are experiencing with your computer, and you may not need to 
recover the entire contents of your hard drive. If you do need to reinstall all 
the software titles that shipped with your computer, use the System Recovery 
CD(s).

You must be in Windows

®

 to run the Application Recovery CD(s). The 

application will not run from DOS. If you have any questions on using the 
Application Recovery CD(s), contact Sony Customer Support.

To use the Application Recovery CD(s)

Turn on your computer. If your computer is already on, close all 
applications.

When the Windows desktop appears, insert the Sony Application Recovery 
CD in the CD-ROM drive. The Application Recovery utility loads 
automatically.

When the Application Recovery menu appears, follow the on-screen 
instructions to complete the recovery process.

Q: Why isn’t the CD-ROM drive reading a CD?

A: After inserting a CD, you must wait a few seconds for the disc to be 
detected before trying to access it. If your drive reads some CDs but not 
others, check the shiny side of the disc for dirt or scratches. You may also 
need to clean the CD-ROM drive lens with a CD-ROM cleaner.

Q: How do I change the video resolution of my display?

A: From the Start menu, select Settings and click Control Panel. Click the 
Display icon and select Settings. Move the Screen area slider to change the 
resolution.

Your system may include one or two Application Recovery CDs. If you have two 
Application Recovery CDs, insert the first CD to run the Application Recovery program. You 
may be prompted to insert the second CD, depending on the application you wish to 
restore.
