My Sony Vaio PCG-XG19 is giving me an error message upon startup:
SuCallDriver (SUCD_TYPE_GET_DEVICE_STATUS) after upgrading to windows
2000. I'm trying to find out what this means and how to resolve it.

I found the error message being discussed, but unfortunately the page
is in Chinese... The translator didn't know what to make of it:

http://216.239.41.100/search?q=cache:E_W7iWd88rAJ:web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/people/shibaken/paso_ng.htm+SUCD_TYPE_GET_DEVICE_STATUS&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

yes, i found that on my first google search as well, but can't
decipher the characters. I think I need somebody who has dealt with
this personally and solved it successfully.

I actually tried upgrading to windows 2000 as well on my sony vaio. I
don't remember if the problem i got was exactly like yours but i know
some of my hardware was not compatible with 2000. At that point my
computer was fairly new and what i found out is that sony does it on
purpose. They don't let you upgrade to a different version unless you
go through them. I think this is what's going on on your computer. I
recommend to going back to your original windows...if you still have
your boot up cd.

Hi,

I could not open the link to have a look at the page myzelf, but I
estimate their is a big change the page is not in Chinese but in
Japanese. Sony is a Japanese company, so Japanese would be more
obvious than Chinese.
