Touchpad: Original drivers work OK
Video: The standard VGA drivers will do 1024x768 but not 1280x768
Audio: Original drivers work OK

I’ll update this as info comes in on this thread.

]]> Motion eye driver tag:https:,2005:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.4920 2005-07-24T07:06:31Z brittonc I have a TR1MP which has been formatted and installed with XP SP2.  I have no CD’s or recovery discs for it and have downloaded every driver I could from Sony’s website.  The only driver I can’t find is the one for the Motion Eye camera.  I have gone through all the steps mentioned in this forum but nothing has worked.  In the device manager I have a USB device with the exclamation mark next to it which I assume is the camera.  Is there not a USB driver for the camera?  I have spent the last 5 hours searching the internet and have now given up.  Can’t understand why Sony can’t just put it on their website with all the other drivers!  :x

Hope someone can help!

]]> PCG-TR1A hotkey software tag:https:,2009:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7643 2009-05-18T18:33:12Z Dogfashion I just reinstalled XP home edition on my laptop (retail disc, I lost the original long ago).  Sony’s support website provided me with nearly everything I needed except the driver/utility needed to make the hotkeys work.  There is also an unrecognized USB device found, I am assuming it is the MotionEye camera (I did also install the camera drivers from the Sony site).

I have searched for nearly a day now on numerous forums without any luck.  Could anyone either point me in the right direction for a download or provide me with the utility off of an original recovery disc?

Thanks,
Dog

]]> Windows 7 runs on the TR! tag:https:,2009:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7598 2009-01-06T15:47:06Z pugwash75 Not sure whether I’m the first or not, but I have Windows 7 up and running on my TR1MP (I work for Microsoft). It seems a lot faster than XP to me, but of course I’m going from an XP with lots of stuff installed to a Win7 with practically nothing, so it’s always tricky to work out whether there’s a real improvement or not.

]]> Resurrecting my PCG-TR5GP tag:https:,2009:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7602 2009-01-19T11:17:58Z pengo I’ve had my PCG-TR5GP for about a year and love it dearly. Two weeks ago the hard drive died. The laptop was secondhand and didn’t come with recovery CDs.

Thanks to posts on this forum, I was able to disassemble the TR5, check the hard drive type (Toshiba), purchase and install a replacement. I’ve even managed to put XP Pro back on it, although I have yet to deal with the OEM vs upgrade product key issue.

Again thanks to this forum, I’ve found Rahul’s excellent resource of TR drivers. I realise I’ll have to try them out and see if they work with my model. But can someone tell me what the process is for installing these drivers? I figure I burn them to a CD and put that into the Vaio ... but then what?

It sounds a dumb question just writing it! But I have no idea how to apply the drivers. The XP Pro install hasn’t requested any so far, but wi-fi’s not working and it’s running video at 1024x768. I’m not sure what else under the hood needs to be updated.

I’m glad this forum’s here.

Thanks ...

After reformat, how do I restore the Memory Stick Icon?

I believe there was a topic before, but it looks like the search is not working.  I tried to search my own posts, but it didn’t work.

Thanks.

]]> How do I download files from phone to TR via BT? tag:https:,2008:/www.siliconpopculture.com/forum/viewthread/.7558 2008-11-02T01:51:10Z 2008-11-02T01:52:27Z gameson I can connect my phones with BT just fine with the TR, however when I try to send pics from phones to TR (just like as if you are sending pics from phone A to phone B via BT), I can’t do it.  Anyone know how?

I am using the integrated Sony TR BT module solution, not external.

Thanks.
