    Hey guys. After I formatted my computer and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, none of my function keys work. To top it off, my volume indicator seems to have disappeared. I went to the site and only downloaded the things that were not bloatware, but I did like that volume indicator. Can someone help me fix this problem? Thanks

    I am on a Sony VGN-FW340D

    You'll need Sony Shared Library, Notebook Control and Utilities and Notebook Utilities In that order - more details on on your model page under the FAQs section WIN 7 Upgrade. Order is important - else the function keys you're referring to will not work.

    Thanks for the help!

    @J&K: Really appreciate the quick response, but I had those things already before I found the solution still never worked.

    The quoted segment has the answer that worked for me. Hope this helps someone else!
