    Hi,
    I think many of tried to install Windows 7 on your VAIO CS but those Touch Sensor buttons, Fn buttons... Don't work. But in this guide, it will! :D :D :D

    STEPS
    1) Backup your DATA.
    2) Download Drivers from Sony Website.
    3) Clean Install Windows 7.
    4) Graphics Driver.
    5) Audio Driver
    6) Ethernet Driver
    7) Wireless LAN Driver
    8) Bluetooth Driver [Run Setup from C:\Upgrade\Widcomm\setup.exe (I dont remember path properly but C:\Upgrade) ]

    At this point, Brightness (from Control Panel), Audio, Ethernet, WLAN, Bluetooth should work :D

    Download Touchpad Driver here (Windows Vista's. Don't select compatiablilty, etc...) http://download.sony-asia.com/vaio/downloads/Original_Drivers/083Q/CS1/driver/Pointing.EXE

    9) Sony Shared Library [Restart after this]
    10) SFEP Driver [No restart Required]
    11) VAIO Setting Utility Series [Restart after this]
    12) VAIO Event Service [Restart after this]
    13) Synaptics Touchpad Driver [WINDOWS VISTA][Restart after this]
    14) VAIO Launcher [Restart after this]

    At this point Touch sensor Volume, Multimedia Playback Buttons, AV MODE button, Fn keys will work and the OSD also Shows up!!! :D

    15) VAIO Power Management
    16) VAIO Control Center
    17) Memory Stick Driver
    18) SD Card Driver

    I Will upload Arcsoft WebCam Companion 3 And Magic-i Visual Effects 2 very soon (FULL VERSION, NOT TRIAL) :cool:

    And can anybody say why Dolby Control Center Says "No vaild audio endpoints found"??? :eek:

    You need not install that stupid VAIO Nattery Checker. It just notifies you if you use non-genuine VAIO Batteries and eats your RAM

    :) :) :) If you cant find something, please post it here :) :) :)
