    So I deleted a bunch of programs that I didn't know what they were.. i think i deleted something important because I cant adjust the brightness on my laptop anymore.. either with the brightness buttons or manually.. is there a driver or seomthing I can download again to gain this function back? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FE550G

    i'm at a loss of words.


    ...


    now that i've found my words again, i'd say you'll have to reinstall the proper driver, yes. there might be an OSD as well.

    Normally that two files from Sony- Sony Notebook Utilities and Sony Notebook Control Device Driver. Check the Sony Drivers page for your specific model and operating system.
