    How I got the S1 S2 and and AV to work on 7 x64 on a vaio AR5

    1. : The file in C:\ProgramData\Sony Corporation\Setting Utility Series\SBCurrentSettingData.xml is written by the Vaio Control center software, it contains your machine ID, in my case 19000.

    2. : In C:\ProgramData\Sony Corporation\Setting Utility Series\MConfig there are different files showing different machine number as a file name, I took the M19763 file (it looks like it has the 2 S1 and S2 keys) and renamed it M19000 (according to my machine number).
    3. : In C:\ProgramData\Sony Corporation\VAIO Control Center\Config\ there are 2 files : ModelConfigUS and ModelConfigVCC, for both of them I change each value inside the xml files from 19763 to 19000 (my machine ID).

    After restart S1 and S2 appear in the vaio control center where you can change the application each buttom programs.
