Sony Laptop stream.sys

It has becoming more and more anonying that Sony Laptops are too the shit when it comes to installing drivers by hand. This is a known issue with Sony and Microsoft - whenever you install a driver and try to either reboot, shutdown, hibernate, standby the laptop would simply freeze up. The freeze-up (soft-lock usually) is because of a poorly written system driver (see below).
