    Just got my hands on the 13 inch Sony Vaio Pro, was literally the last unit in the country.


    Installed Windows 7 on it, everything went way smoother than I thought except for 1 hiccup, I can't get the hotkeys to work, Vaio Event manager seems to be running in the background but just doesn't activate.
    Installed all the Windows 7 drivers from the Sony EU website, (a total of 24 drivers were available including patches for Wifi, Vaio Control Panel and a Bios update.)

    I've seen others have success on this, what's the secret?

    I'm not familiar with the Vaio Pro, but if its like most other Vaios, you will need to install some of the drivers in a certain order.

    The order for my SR series is: utilities, utilities update, shared library, firmware extension parser, hdd protection, both memory card drivers, bluetooth, fingerprint scanner driver, audio driver / video driver.
