Your 4 hours is why, with Windows machines, I take the nuke-from-orbit approach and reinstall from scratch first thing.

Wasn't there a post on here last week on how you have to hunt down drivers if you do a Windows upgrade or clean install? The last VAIO I used took me 4 hours to nuke, clean install, then hunt down the drivers. (And some didn't even exist on the Sony site since they only listed 32-bit drivers).

It'll work out to the same 4 hours if not more :)
