    Hello,

    I've just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on my Vaio Z11MNB. As Google told me there is a problem with the FN + F5/F6 brightness adjust in speed mode.
    All Sony software ist installed correctly and in the newest version I found.
    As in many threads mentioned I followed the right order. But I still cannot adjust the brightness in speed mode :mad:
    This thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=432176 lead me to the right graphic drivers I thougt... Okay these drivers( http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNZ790D&upd_id=5394&os_id=49) are for the ZD790 but this shouldn't matter it's the same 9300GS chipset...

    The following sony software is installed:
    SETTING_UTILITY_SERIES_5.1_5.1.0.11200
    SFEP_DRIVER_SONY_8.0_10Q1_O_7_8.0.1.1
    SPIC_DRIVER_8.0_09Q3_7_8.0.1.1
    SONY_SHARED_LIBRARY_5.5_5.5.0.10160
    VAIO_CONTROL_CENTER_4.1_4.1.0.10160
    VAIO_EVENT_SERVICE_5.1FH_5.1.0.12010
    VAIO_POWER_MANAGEMENT_5.0_5.0.0.11300
    VAIO_SMART_NETWORK_3.1_3.1.0.11250

    Any ideas what to do?
    Another smaller problem: From time to time there is a yellow exclamation mark at the SD-Hostcontroller in the device manager. I've googled a lot but there seems to be no other driver than the windows included. VEN_1180&DEV_0822

    Thanks for the help!

    You didn't mention the "Firmware Extension Parser Device Driver" in your list - did you install that too?

    Isn't it the SFEP_DRIVER_SONY_8.0_10Q1_O_7_8.0.1.1.ZIP?
    My device manager shows a "sony firmware extension parser device"!
