    I did a clean install of Windows 7. I did not load all that crap from the 2nd CD.I am trying to determine which Drivers I need to install.

    I installed the VAIO® Event Service and Sony® Shared Library.

    What is strange is, when I click on the FN button and press the increase brightness key, the brightness meter does appear on the screen, but it will not go above the lowest setting.

    You need to install the GPU driver.
