    I just did a clean install of windows 7 64 bit that I got from my university on my CR4000 and have a few minor driver problems. Before anyone asks, I know my comp only came with a 32bit version of vista, but I checked and hardware wise it is fully cabible of running 64 bit. The install went well and things are working fine (really liking windows 7 so far) but after the install my Fn keys on my keyboard aren't working and the volume buttons work but don't show up on the screen like they used to. The sd card slots didn't work but i found a driver that works with them. Does anyone know how to get the Fn buttons to work, and is it even possible on windows 7 or a 64 bit os?
    thanks

    Oh and scrolling on the touch pad doesnt work.

    banapudding posted this awhile ago I dont know if it helps



    The following should solve fn key/hotkey problems on any VAIO.
    Reinstall, in order, the following, rebooting after each:
    1. Sony Shared Library
    2. Sony Utilities DLL
    3. Sony Event Services

    With your model you are going to have to go to the Vaio Recovery on your computer for the last two probably.
