    Hey everyone,

    I did the semi-clean install as was detailed by BlackG35 and it worked great! My only problem is now, the Brightness Functions on the keyboard aren't working. EX: When I hold down the FN key, then the F key for brightness up or down it doesn't do anything. I noticed this specifically on Stamina mode, but Im pretty sure it does it on Speed mode too.

    Did I not install one of the Sony Utilities properly?

    Any and all help is truly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    I think you did everything right. It happen to me too when I did semi-clean install. What I did was reinstal these drivers in the following order to fix the problems:

    1. Sony Control Device
    2. Programmable I/O
    3. Share Library
    4. Sony Utilities
