    Guys,

    I received the laptop from my aunt, who bought this thing (not very powerful, but it does the trick for her) and i backupped everything with a Acronis TrueImage. So, if i need to, i can restore the factory Vista...

    I installed Vista Business with a key I got from them for their little one-man company.

    After installing Vista, i installed updates and started to install the vaio event service so i could use the brightness keys and everything.

    De volume up and down key is working, but the brightness key nog, i don't get a progressbar with a "BEEP" if you change the volume or the brightness.

    Vaio Event Services is running in services.msc, so i don't know what to do.

    The dedicated mute-button works, AV-mode button not, because i don't think anything is associated with it.
