• Answer:

  I got this as the first hit on Google: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNFS520B See if you can get an SMBus driver on that page. I wasn't able to view that page due to some reason. Also check whether the SMBus driver is installed on your system. Right click My Computer - click Properties - Click the Hardware tab and then click the Device Manager button. Can you see an SMBus driver listed? OR can you see something with a yellow question mark which says something about SMBus? If yes, it means your laptop is missing that driver. If you have the driver disc that came with your laptop, use it to install the SMBus driver, or you may be able to download it from the above link. If you can't get it for any reason, here's an easy way to get the SMBus and any other drivers for your laptop: Use this driver scanning tool, which scans your computer for the needed drivers. It has an option to automatically retrieve them for you. You can download this free tool from here: http://xpdrivers.com/index.cfm or directly from this link: http://xpdrivers.com/download/download.cfm After you have downloaded the above file, double-click on it and follow the simple steps to install it. Then, when it asks if you want to run it, just answer yes. This is easier than manually searching, downloading and installing the drivers. Hope that helps, Regards, Raspal
