    Ok,

    Just got it working, in my earlier attempts I tried all the latest W7 drivers from the Sony FTP site, but the latest sony utils don't seem to support the SZ2 anymore.

    In the end all it took was using the 'old' vista drivers from the Europe VAIO support site:
    http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/updates/index.aspx?l=nl_BE&m=VGN-SZ2XP_C&os=7

    Use the correct order:
    - Sony Utils DLL
    - Sony Shared Library
    - VAIO Event Services
    - Setting Utilities Services

    After that I had all the Fn functions back, as well as the S1 and S2 button.
    After re-installing the Wireless Switch Setting Utility I also got the bluetooth option back. (previously it only showed the wireless 2.4 and 5 options)

    All hardware seems to be working, but I do have 1 exclamation mark left in the Device Manager as an unknown device with a hardware-Id stating 'root\Bluetooth_com'
    It would be nice to get rid of it, but for now I can live with it.

    Edit: The last exclamationmark is gone, apparently it was a leftover from previous install attempts. After uninstalling the device in the device manager, it never came back after reboot.

    Sony Shared Library (3.0.00.10180) Restart
    VAIO Event Services (3.0.00.13110) Restart
    Setting Utilities Services Restart (2.0.00.11270) Restart

    ....and .....voila everything works fine (all Fn Keys, s1 s2 )

    The only thing that dosen't work is my battery, the system don't recognise my battery........
    When install battery, my vaio don't recognise battery and the following message apears

    Caution
    ''The installed battery may not be properly connected to the computer or may not be compatible with the computer.
    Click ''ok'' to enter hibernate mode and remove and reinsert the battery''

    Does anybody have any suggestions?
