    Are you sure it's that the keyboard is locking, and not that windows are all going into the background? In other words, when the keyboard locks, try clicking on the window you were typing in and see if it brings it back into the foreground and allows you to keep typing for a few minutes.

    If that's the problem, then the issue is Vaio Smart Network freaking out because you haven't set up a profile. See this thread for details:
