    I up graded my Vaio from XP to Vista Ultimate 64bit, not the FN button functions won't work.

    Mine is the Vaio C series, I couldn't' find drivers for 54bit on Sony site. Is there anywhere else I can get drivers?

    There are no 64-bit drivers made by Sony. Only 32-bit.

    None of those - those are just hardware drivers. The DLLs used for the FN and S1/S2 type keys are only 32-bit.

    Function key capability non-support is the main reason I am not going to 64-bit. Other than that, everything else I need will function, but I just use the function keys too much daily to pass'em up!
