    Hello guys small problem here,
    i recently reinstalled Win7 x64 on my VAIO VPCEA16FG

    it has the three buttons on top
    1 for Assist,Web and VAIO

    well the assist and VAIO buttons on top dont work,
    any idea how to do a regpatch on them or maybe do some settings somewhere?

    i installed the Sony Services, and Vaio Control centre and the media gallery

    thanks in advance

    Assist launches VAIO Care, if you don't have it installed it won't do anything.

    VAIO.. uhmm, I can't remember what it did, launched some Sony media software I think, maybe PMB. It should mute/unmute the sound on a clean install. If it doesn't, you've probably missed a Sony driver - which ones did you install?
