    I've downloaded all the drivers for my FE series and gotten most everything to work.

    I've noticed a couple of the installs start running and then display an error that these updates are only designed to run on Vista. Note that I am running a store bought release version of Vista Home Premium.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    By the way, I worked around it by manually updating the drivers through the Control Panel. I then just browsed to my "App Settings\Local" folder. All of the sony drivers are initially expanded in this directory before the full sony installer runs. This found the drivers and Vista installed them automatically.

    I have FE590P10 running Vista Ultimate and there is no problem. All extra buttons and fn+ keys work fine. You should download files in O/S Migration section.
