    Hey Everyone,

    I just installed Windows XP (clean, not a vista downgrade)on my Sony SZ240. I downloaded and installed the drivers from the Sony website, but I cannot get my Wireless LAN and Fn keys to work.

    With regards to the LAN, everytime I try to install the driver a message prompt pops on the screen saying that it isn't compatible with my system and it can't install. What's going on?


    Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    Can't really help you with the wireless issue, but in regards to the FN keys you are most likely NOT going to get them to work. Sony has only released the drivers and non of the auxiliary applications that are required for things like the Function Keys and power management which rely on applications and not drivers to function.
