VAIO Action Setup

VAIO Action Setup manages the settings for your computer's Programmable Power Keys (PPK), and internal timer. An overview of each of these functions is provided below. For more information on changing the settings using VAIO Action Setup, from the Start menu, go to Programs, VAIO Action Setup, VAIO Action Setup.

Programmable Power Keys

Your Sony computer comes with technology that allows you to get to your favorite applications easily. The three Programmable Power Keys (PPK) at the top of you keyboard are shortcut buttons that can be programmed to carry out a variety of computer operations automatically. If you wish, you can use the VAIO Action Setup software to change the Programmable Power Keys’ preset functions. See the online manual Customizing Your VAIO® Notebook for details.

Internal Timer

The VAIO Action Setup software allows you to set your computer’s internal timer to launch certain applications automatically. The timer can start applications even when the computer is in the System Hibernation Mode.

✍Some software applications take longer than others to launch. It is advisable to confirm in advance the amount of time your selected application takes to start.
