    Hi,

    My computer froze recently and something failed on windows so I decided to reload Vista again. Unfortunately, I didn't have the recovery discs on me so I bought a copy of Vista Ultimate from my university. After installing though, none of my shortcut or "FN" buttons work and the wireless doesn't work either. The esupport website doesn't have any drivers available and the only option I have is to buy the discs from Sony directly. Does anybody know how I can the drivers? Can I download a different set of drivers from FW with vista ultimate?

    Thanks in advance.

    Specific order to make your function buttons work - need to install Sony Shared Library (after all other drivers), then Notebook Control and Utilities.

    Should solve you lack of FN buttons problem.
