Processor and Memory (RAM): Not Available Vista > Control Panel >

[Guest]

I got a VAIO laptop VGN SZ-440N with windows vista Business. When I started
the computer oringally, I went to the system tab and it read my processor as
well as my amount of ram. Since then, I've done alot of deleting/installing.
I've also installed 1 gb more of memory (totaling 2gb). Now (well...for
awhile now) in control panel > system it reads "Processor: Not Availible" and
"Memory (RAM): Not Availible"

I can't see a performance difference, but I don't know how long this has
gone on.

I took out the extra GB of memory, reset the bios to defaults, then booted
up again, but it still says "not availible"

Sony support said to do a full system restore, which seems crazy since its
working fine, and they have no idea why this is occuring.

Anyone have a fix or suggestion?

Do you do the Windows updates? If so a future one might fix it,
assuming that a past one messed it up. It happens sometimes, MS sends
out "fixes" that are not fixes for everyone.
