    You need more than just that. Did you get the drivers and auxillary apps from the Sony site? You need a bunch of things to enable the function keys and power mangement. And these need to be installed in a particular order to work properly. See my signature for a link to the FZ clean install thread. It will give you an approximate idea of what else you need and the sequence. Or look and see if there is a clean install thread for your model. (You have a TZ, right?)
