    Hey guys! I have a SZ650 and i've been following up on your discussions on downgrading to XP

    and so far, i've managed to do everything correctly, but my FN buttons nor my S1 and S2 buttons work. However, I noticed that I can set what my S buttons can do, but they aren't recognized when i push them

    I've tried using the drivers that the sony website offers, but then after installing them, my "stamina/speed" switch becomes disabled

    any help? thanks!
