sony vaio update firmware extension parser device patch taking a long time

You can use the Sony Windows 7 Upgrade media to carry out a clean install. You can search for the firmware file by name but it’s not legitimately available – Sony does not distribute the update, despite Option’s official documentation stating that the version they shipped with is non-working.

Mine went from not working at all, even outside, to being able to get a fix in VisualGPS indoors. If it’s lower than 2.9.5.0, this update will vastly improve your GPS signal strength. I once had a bad experience with sudden forum deletion – In 2003 I wrote an IPSec VPN guide on the official Netgear forums and one day when I needed it I discovered that they’d relaunched the forums, and deleted all the old content! Needless to say I didn’t have my own copy and didn’t have it either…īefore you start, use the GlobeTrotter Connect software to check the firmware version of your Option GTM382 HSDPA + GPS card.

I wrote this up for the forum at (the main forum it seems for the VAIO P), but I’ll post it here too. Here’s how to clean install Windows 7 and the minimal amount of Sony software, which results in a striking improvement. Out of the box running Vista my P11Z was barely usable. Sony VAIO laptops come installed with lots of bloatware and, given the VAIO P series’ low power CPU, this really ruins it.
