    Hi all!

    I've installed Vista Ultimate on my SZ1M - the installation was very fast and after configuring WLAN all drivers where update. The MemoryStick is still missing. But the problems begin: After installing the Sound driver i followed with the sony stuff; shared library, event service.

    Nothing works: the fn keys, the s keys. ****. When i press the mute key the OSD shows me muted but the speaker is on...problems, a lot of problems...

    If you use the vista driver for FE, which is downloadable now, there should be no problems in use of FN keys. I installed Vista Enterprise with the drivers for FE on my sz210, and everything worked fine. Of course, the memorystick driver, fingerprint driver and camera driver for vista are not yet available.

    Thank you! I'll try this...but what about the s1 and s2 keys? Are the configurable? And the soundfunctions, like mute and louder, will work?

    Every FN key worked flawlessly. And S1 & s2 are configurable.
