I don't know why but the system is working extremely slow (freezing, not responding etc.). I want to run system recovery but when I click Vaio Care, similarly it takes around 5 minutes to open it and nothing happens when I click "system recovery". It just freezes for a while and nothing happens..</P><P></P><P>I was not given a windows 7 cd with my notebook, so I can't use one for recovery. I tried to download new vaio care driver from Sony's website and I reinstalled it but no difference.. Now I need to run system recovery without using vaio care. Does anybody know how to do that? I searched for it in the control panel but there's not such an option. Please help. Thanks..</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:52:01 GMT ninozig 2012-11-21T17:52:01Z System Recovery Without Vaio Care https://community.sony.dk/t5/pcs-accessories/system-recovery-without-vaio-care/m-p/551423#M15469 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi</P><P></P><P>I've been using Vaio VPCF23Z1E for a while.
