I have had my Vaio laptop (FE-31M) for some time and over the years it has become sluggish, i used the system recovery disk to format my drive. It now ask's to use the applications disk to install all the apps that were originally on the laptop but i never use them, they are just a waste to me so i decided not to use the disk and not to install any software.

Is it ok to do that? They do say that your machine could have problems if you dont recover the applications but everything seems to be working ok.....except the fan, it no longer works now im not sure if its missing a piece of sony software or if it is just dead.

Does anybody know if the fan has stopped becuase i didnt recover the applications?

Thanks
