    Try uninstalling the Vaio Control Centre. That should let Windows handle the battery.

    I agree- this is bloatware that you really don't need.

    You can control power options through Windows as Creepin has mentioned.
    If you want to tweak those settings you can click on the power icon in
    the system tray/ notification area of the taskbar-> more power options
    ->choose your power plan as required->Change plan settings->change advanced power settings

    In here you can change what your machine does for hibernate on battery and on power etc etc....

    If you don't want to fully remove the VAIO Control Center the following link will show
    you how to disable the battery care function - I think this what you are after.

    Could be a problem with the software itself then.

    Take note of where the error is occuring and use the
    advice they are telling in regard to looking
    at the electronic manual for your product. See if there are any troubleshooting
    tips and/ or guides on the operation of that software.

    Otherwise- as Creepin said you may want to uninstall the software.
    As I previously mentioned you can do all sorts of settings for the battery
    using Windows itself, however you would be able to uninstall and reinstall
    a "fresh" version of your software if you so please.

    If that's what you decide to do, then look for the serial/ model numbers and any other
    indicators of your particular model and then Google around to find the .exe file
    to download and reinstall and the instructions for the safe uninstall and reinstall.

    The Sony support site for your country/ region would be
    a very good place to start and I would recommend getting the .exe file from there
    and NOT a third party.

    Good luck

    Note: Do not install the software from the following link as it is a Vista download, I
    have only provided this link AS AN EXAMPLE of the sort of informational page you will need to search for!!!!!
