    I recently did a clean install of windows 7 and ofcourse lost the mousepad scroll functions as well as the blue function buttons to alter brightness, change magnification, etc. How can I go about getting these back because im thinking of selling it soon and I will need the standard features working?

    My laptop is a Vaio VGN - FW3 custom build
    - Core 2 duo 2.66GHz
    - 16.4" 1080P X-black screen
    - 4GB Ram
    - Ati HD3650 512mb GDDR3
    - 320GB HDD (5200rpm)
    - Blu-ray disc player built in

    Is this a 32 or 64 bit installation? I can post links to the drivers needed.
