    My SZ built-in keyboard have misfiring (for the lack of a better word) problem. I have this old wireless keyboard from Logitech's "Elite Keyboard" lineup. And I installed their iTouch (ver 2.22) keyboard driver although the download page said that they don't have new driver for this particular keyboard model to use with Vista and that it uses Vista's native driver. The problem is that the iTouch driver changed the driver for the SZ's built-in keyboard. Now the built-in keyboard is misfiring, e.g., when i press "m" it prints "0", "u" key prints "4", "i" key prints "5", etc. There are quite a few keys on the keyboard that are misfiring. Shift+[misfire key] doesn't print anything at all.

    So in Device Manager, I rolled back the SZ keyboard's driver and after the roll back it was showing as "Strandard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard". That didn't fix the problem. I System Restored it and it didn't help either. I uninstalled the driver and Vista auto-reinstalled it back to "Standard 101/102-key...PS/2 keyboard." Still didn't help. I am quite sure it wasn't using the Standard 101/102-key driver before. I just couldn't remember what it was using. :confused: I think SZ series use 86-key keyboard. So when I tried to manually install the driver, I didn't see any keyboard driver from Sony or any standard 86-key keyboard driver.

    Can someone please look up in their device driver and post what it said under Keyboards?

    If anyone knows how to fix the problem or which driver from Sony to reinstall to fix this problem, please help me.

    PS - I am using the wireless keyboard to type this post.
