    I've made a Windows XP clean install, I could install all drivers and applications but I can't find the driver (or app) to install Vaio power management utility (that controls fans, screen brightness, etc).

    There is a driver called Sony Notebook Utilities that I thought would install Vaio power management utility, but I my case it didn't (I also installed Sony Shared Library Utility).

    Could anyone help me?

    Thanks a lot.

    My Vaio is a PCG-k13

    Look for Hotkey software, that should handle the Fn keys at least.

    Hotkey software wasn´t a problem I could download from the Sony website.

    if you cannot find driver or softwarwe for your VAIO from Sony web, chances are that software/driver is only available via recovery DVD/CD.
