With respect to my other unanswered thread,
, in desperation, I called the local guru. (Oh, the shame, but he's got 30 years experience and just about everyone in this area speaks well of him.) He was dismissive of Belarc, inasmuch that he said, if the label has Sony on it,
use that key, not some . . . etc.
I have to say I found Belarc charming to deal with and I'd be surprised to find the key it sees is wrong - but is there a similar utility that might give a consensus?
He, the Guru, happened to say he'd got software that would pull the drivers from my laptop - while it was fully functional.
Since Sony Vaio is notorious for being a pain with getting drivers, I thought this to be a nifty thing to do. Anyone got experience with doing this?
