    Hi, I'm new here, went looking for VAIO AR lounge or sticky topics and found none. Hope this isn't a repeat.

    I've gotten most things to work after a clean install of Win7 x64 on my AR-630E, which is a very nice upgrade from a 2-year old install of Vista x86 (which was working fine, just a bit slower by comparison, having only 3 GB of the 4GB RAM to work with).

    The unsolved:

    a) Function buttons - the volume up/down/mute buttons work, but nothing else. I would think, whatever made those work, would take care of the rest, but it didn't. I've got the VAIO Event service running, also installed are the Setting Utility and the Appmon Utility. What I really miss is the optical eject button.

    b) Logo lamp - despite the AppMon Utility running, the logo won't turn off for WMP in full screen.

    Looking forward to any suggestions.... TIA.
