    I bought this item ( VGN-CR71B/W) from Japan.But damn !! ****ing vaio's brand in japan doesnt support provide driver for this item(i tried find it for along times,but couldnt then called to vaio support dept in japan and i got this information).all customers have to use original window vista ( include more and more thirdparty softwares) or use recovery disk to recovery window,ofcourse still include more ****ing thirdparty softwares,
    But vaio support dept suggested me an idea if i wanna re-install clean window vista from some other sources(ex, vista DVD disk...) by the way back up all drivers from original window of my notebook by some back-up driver softwares.
    Thanks God for giving me unique solution for this case - But damn ( again !!! ) -
    I tried with Driver Genius Professional Edition 2007 (with license) - back up processing suceed - but restoration failed.
    Because as you guys know - all ****ing vaio notebook must be installed driver step by step : exam : step 1 Sony Shared Library ,step 2 Sony Utility .. to get full and can control some Fn and other funtions key..
    But when back up driver , i coulndt back up Sony Shared Library ,Sony Ultility...so,of course i cant' use all of funtion key..and damn , dont know why can use some usb devices ( my wireless mouse - dont need driver - plug and play ) as orginal window
    ----------
    So anyone can help me resolve this ****ing problem,I need driver ( special : sony shared library,sony notebook ultilities ) for my laptop
    Thanks so much
    P/s : I also tried download others CR series driver from sonystyle.com but only sony shared library could be install .. :(((
    And I'm not japanese - But made a big mistake is bought laptop from japan :((
