    Hi all,

    I recently installed vista ultimate X32 on my laptop, to allow me easier networking with my new PS3. Everything is now fine, after some initial zonealarm problems, except that I am unable to adjust the brightness of my screen.
    The FN hotkeys no longer work and I'm unable to install any software from the Samsung driver download site that helps me at all.
    The real problem for me is that if I turn on the computer with the power lead in, then the screen is on full brightness. However if I turn it on un-plugged, it is on the minimum brightness.
    If anybody can help then I will be really grateful.

    Thanks.

    Only thing i can suggest is finding the nearest equivalent samsung laptop that has support for vista and see if the utilities will work on yours.
