Vaio update not updating
I am using Vaio Update version 5.4.1.04200. Upon checking for updates it come up with the following message...
A new version of VAIO Update is available. VAIO Update cannot be used unless it is updated. Update now?
I click yes, then the icon in the system tray shows it is downloading the update but then after around 1 minute it stops and nothing happens. So, until this is fixed i cannot use VAIO Update.
Any solutions or a direct download link to download the latest version?
If it makes difference my model number is VGN-AW41MF
Thanks.

My Update is also not working. After trying to get the Update screen through the 'Start' and 'All Programs' menu it appears to have been completely re-moved form my laptop, also the icon that is usually in the bottom right hand corner has dissapeared. Any suggestions?
Cheers.

I have found that if i kill the update process and start it again AS ADMIN it updates the update program.
I guess that the programmers has forgotten to take this into account when doing the software for Win 7...
I had problems getting the Wireless LAN Driver (Atheros) - 9.2.0.427 to install through the autoupdate. Same issue there. Run as admin and the problem is gone...

I'm having exactly the same problem, its been like this for a couple of weeks now, it originally went to automatically update but then a box came up to say it couldn't install probably due to anti-virus mcafee not being completely removed. But i've checked and double checked as i removed that last year and its all gone. Now intermitently when i'm on websites a box just keeps popping up to say VAIO 5 cant update etc etc, i've tried everything its suggested and checked forums etc but nothings working, its gettng ridiculous. ;(:smileysad:

I am still not able to update Vaio update. As suggested by another responder, I have tried updating as an Administrator (via right-clicking on the Vaio Updat icon under the Start button), but that did not work either. I have spent many hours trying to resolve the problem. Please let Sony know that the problem still exists. Thanks.
