Re: Restart vs. Shutdown Question

 

Kenshi's idea of bios update definitely works!

My Model Vaio Z is VGN-Z520N
Update takes my bios version to R2168M3...

*Support Page for this model is here..
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGN-Z520N&region_id=1

*Download is here...ftp://download.sony.com/US/pc/ISBSYS-00180599-US.EXE

Thanks again!
