    You can refer my clean install guide. Although it's meant for 64-bit Windows 7, the procedure should be the same for 32-bit.
    The hardware drivers might vary depending upon the configuration of your FZ.

    There is no driver for the keyboard. If you meant the fn keys, you need to install all the Sony driver and utilities in the right order. Why don't you read my guide to know more?
