    Hello,

    I upgraded my VPCSA290X laptop to Windows 8 x64 from scratch and installed Sony drivers afterwards.
    Still hkserv is still missing and AFAIK this is the module needed to operate the Hot Keys (Fn+key) commands.
    Sony support sent me to pages I previously visited but that did not help.
    What is the driver that installs hkserv?

    Thanks

    You need to download and install all 3 in SYSTEM COMPONENTS under Windows 7 before installing updates under Windows 8 to make hotkeys work.

    U did it. And those support guys at Sony were incapable of solving the problem.

    Thank you
