    I installed Win7 on my friend's VGN-NS235J, I went to the sony website and installed all the drivers I thought would be essential to use the computer. But the Fn+F5 or F6 shortcut to adjust screen brightness does not work. Could anyone tell me which specific file I would need for that to work again?

    Here is the link for the drivers website http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNNS235JP&SelectOS=49#div_pos_66

    You'll need these:

    Sony Shared Library
    Sony Firmware Extension Parser Device Driver
    Vaio Event Service
    Vaio Control Center Software
    VAIO Launcher software
    Setting Utility Series

    AND the most recent Video Drivers posted for your Intel GMA Graphics.

    Install all that, in pretty much that order, and you should have FN keys working again.
