Microsoft.NET framework unhandled exception...and assist not working!

jennabird — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 14:33:46 GMT

Hi there,

I have had my Sony VAIO laptop (VPCEB4E1E) and so far have had no problems since February. Recently I have been encountering an error message popping up a few times a day, which I will copy and paste the details of at the end so you don't have to read it all now! I have done a full virus scan, repaired the microsoft framework and had no luck with that. Then I attempted to use the assist button and while it started up, as soon as I clicked 'update health status' or one click or contact sony, an error message popped up saying that it had encountered an error and to restart the application!

Any help would be much appreciated, and while it's not affecting the performance of my laptop, I just want the annoying pop up to go away! Thanks in advance, and here are the details of the error:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quitm the application will close immediately.

I just bought my Laptop last week model VPCF22C5E and too have the same problem as described. It's quite annoying because it pops up several times in a day.

Does anybody in Sony know about this and provide solution?

Hi there - I still haven't had any response from here but I actually emailed Sony and never got a response either so I'm still stuck with it. Let me know if you figure it out and I'll do the same!

Thank god I'm not the only one going through this! I've managed to download a copy of Vaio Care and I'm tempted to uninstall and reinstall to see if that has any effect at all but I'm just nervous that I'll mess it up. I'll give it a go and let you guys know what happens

Hi guys,

It was so long ago but I'm pretty sure I just ended up reinstalling vaio care and the microsoft framework and that appeared to sort it out!

Try it and let me know how you get on.

I am also getting these annoying messages. More annoying still is my inability to contact Sony via their webpage and their help line (at 35p a minute) requires some issue code that I can't get because I can't contact Sony. Poor show Sony. Sort your act out and give us a solution!
