    Hello fellow VAIO users.

    I've got an SZ691N/X. When I first got it, I downgraded to XP using a guide on these forums. Everything worked great, including FN keys and S1/S2 buttons. I just upgraded my hard drive and installed a fresh copy of Vista. I didn't follow the same guide for installing the drivers/utilities as I did when i installed XP. unfortunately the FN keys, S1/S2 buttons and the VAIO power management all don't work. Will I have to uninstall the sony utilities, then reinstall them following that guide? Can I just do a System Restore to one day before I tried installing them? I don't want to have to reload Vista, as I loaded a bunch of other software before loading the sony utilities.

    Thanks for the help.
