    Try *here*. Oh and the drivers and utilities for Home Premium 64-bit will work on Ultimate 64-bit.

    To use the FN keys, you need to download:

    Sony Shared Library
    Sony Firmware Extension Parser Device Driver
    Sony Notebook Utilities
    Then Update Sony Notebook Utilities
    And make sure to get the latest video driver from Sony for your ATI graphics card to make sure that your brightness control FN keys will work right.

    And *here* is the link for the English manuals for your model.
