    Hi everyone!
    I already installed win 7 x64 on my laptop, but webcam and special key with Fn still don't work. Someone can provide me these suitable softwares!?. I also found them on sony's page but they are only used for win vista.

    Thank a lot! :confused:

    Install the SFEP (64-bit) driver, Sony shared library (64-bit), GPU driver, Setting utility series (64-bit), and Vaio Event service (64-bit) in the order mentioned for the fn keys to work.
    What web camera model do you have? If it's VCC-4, Vista driver should be extracted using Universal Extractor software.

    Drivers and Apps link: ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/ORIGINAL/
    (Install the most recent version numbers for all)

    It means that I only install these Drivers and Apps for win 7, don't need any more?

    this are main things you install in vaio for buttons.

    and for nvidia,i am not aware but its pathetic in notebooks

    Few weeks ago, I installed win 7, and sony drivers for vista on win 7. My laptop
    noted that my battery didn't work properly and suggested me for removing this
    battery from latop.

    Can you tell my which drivers of sony make my battery work wel!?.

    Thank so much!
