Its ok radie, its enough to no that your problem has been solved it took us a while. I think we have re-invented the defination Trail & error there was not much error to be left i dont think :smileygrin: Just hope you dont keep the neighbours up with your loud sounds all night LOL
I have Device 0 at DMA level 5, and Device 1 at DMA level 2.
I too finally got my Vaio going by uninstalling the Primary IDE driver and get the above results.
DMA Level 5 from PIO makes such a difference: 30 seconds to load windows (instead of 3 minutes), Logging in, almost instant (instead of another couple of minutes).
Thanks to you all who contributed.
Hello
I had the same problem months ago
I called the responsaible and I sent back my VAIO to the manufacture.
What they did is to reinitalize the laptop and now all s perfect.
So if you have this problem retore the first application software of VAIO and the freeze should disapear.

to start with, Blencogo you are a king. If i was in your neighbourhood you would get a massive round of beers for the help! Or whatever you drink. And Resonate you would be greatly welcome for your efforts also!
Problem is gone. Sound perfect, overall performance of the laptop are now amazing. Startup in 3 and a half seconds. Or well at least performances are back to what they are supposed to be for what i paid!
The resolution was very simple: i just desintalled the drivers of the Primary IDE, and rebooted. No hotfix no nothing.
I was chocked in the reboot to see the Welcome page after just a few seconds, and a few seconds more, i was into Windows! DVD got automatically reinstalled also in the reboot.
I have Device 0 at DMA level 5, and Device 1 at DMA level 2. I'll call it a go!
Even WMP11 is working as a charm, so i give it a chance
Again, thanks for the help, you rock!
cheers,
david
Many thanks for this information. I posted a query earlier today but this seems to be the answer to my problems. I too have had video clips interrupted, poor sound on dvd's and freezing frames and interruptions on Skype.
The only problem is....... I don't know where to go to deinstall the Primary IDE! Can anyone help me please?
Many thanks in advance,
Veronica

I found out I needed to go into Device Manager, uninstalled the drivers of the Primary IDE and rebooted. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Any help and advice would be appreciated. it is doing my head in!!
