Topic: When I click an application icon, a message such as “You must insert the application CD into your drive” appears and the software does not start.

Some titles require specific files that are located on the application’s CD-

ROM. Insert the disc and try starting the program again.

Check to make sure you inserted the CD-ROM with the label side facing up.

Topic: Why doesn't my CD-RW drive record at the highest speed?

You must use 4x CD-RW/CD-R media to achieve optimum performance.

The VAIO Slimtop computer has a maximum record rate of 4x for both CD-R and CD-RW media.

If you must use other media and are having difficulty formatting non-4x CD-RW media, change the write speed from 4x to a lower setting. To change the write speed from the default to a lower speed:

1Click the My Computer icon on your desktop.

2Right-click the CD-RW drive icon.

Your CD-RW drive is assigned drive G as its default.

3Select Properties.

4Select the Settings tab.

5Change the “Current Write Speed” field to 2x. 1X writing is not supported.

6Click OK.

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

1From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel.

2Click the Display icon and select the Settings tab.

3Move the Display area slider to change the resolution.

4Click OK.
