VAIO Update on VGN-FZ17G model MessageID=0008

Hi there,

I have a Vaio laptop VGN-FZ17G model and cannot install the VAIO update available from the download website:

http://www.sony-asia.com/support/dow...ite=hp_en_AP_i

I receive an error:

"MessageID=0008 (model not found on server)"

It looks to be a pretty knwon issue but the only help that i find is for from a European forum:

http://club.vaio.sony.co.uk/clubvaio...d?thread=42688

Apparently, Sony has not found a real solution yet to this problem, but they propose a workaround which appears to be working for most of the users on this forum:

Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and language Options -> Administrative -> Change System locale -> Select the original operating system language -> Ok -> Close -> Restart your computer.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.

- Vista TM Home Premium
- VGN-FZ17G

Any idea anyone?

Thanks,

Marty
