    Hi there,
    I'm using vaio VGN-NR220E/S model which is shipped with vista. After my migration from vista to XP, I downloaded all drivers available at eSupport of sony. The installation went smooth and all things are back to normal but some function keys aren't working. I can't adjust LCD's brightness, nor can I choose my screen output on VGA port. Sound and scroll lock is fine.

    I really really need to solve that problem ASAP, currently I'm controlling my LCD's brightness through the driver of graphics adapter, but I don't like it very much.

    Any ideas? Suggestion? If even there is any third party tool or software available for that, then that would be of lot of help too!

    Thanks

    Are you getting any output on your VGA port? I'm worried about that more than brightness issue.
