    Hi all,

    I've just rebuilt my new sony vaio vgn-nr38e, to Vista Home Premium, as it was running slow with the standard out of the box software on there.

    I've updated all the drivers successfully except one. in Device manager it has the hardware ID of ACPI\sny5001. When searching google it points me in the direction of the Firmware Extension Parser.

    I thought i downloaded all the relevant drivers before the rebuild but couldnt find one for this - is it a seperate download ?

    Also, the Fn keys don't appear to function correctly - a couple work, others don't, but it no longer pops up with the display on the LCD as it did previously.

    I'm reluctant to install the Sony Shared Library, or VAIO Control Centre as these appear to slow the laptop down considerably as soon as i put these on.

    Also, the VAIO Power Management download - is it worth installing this ?

    Could someone advise please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Rich
