On the VAIO Care Performance status, I have come across 3 messages that relate to: VAIO Hardware Diagnostics, Optical, USB, HDD. All stating they need attention. I do not know how to clear these messages and need some advice. I have run USB Diagnostic but that hasn't cleared the message. There are no issues as yet so eveything appears to working okay. I have tried a system restore but the 3 aforementioned messages are still there. There is no advice on the system to tell me how to clear these messages, apart from stating they need 'attention'. Would a 'restore to factory settings' help? Hope someone can help and thanks in advance.
