Over the last few months I kept complaining over my inability to correctly load the software to access the Sony Store. Well, my problem has been solved. A few weeks ago I fried the motherboard on my laptop at home. Given that my previous laptop was about 6 or 7 years old, I felt that I'd be wasting my $ to have a new motherboard put in.
So last Friday I went out and bought a new laptop.

It came with Windows 7, 64 bit, installed. Yesterday I downloaded the latest Sony store software. I didn't have a bit of trouble with it. However with all the trouble I was having before I held my breath expecting to hang up somewhere. It was a big sigh of relief when it ended!!
