Note: All drivers I downloaded from Sony Support site are Vista drivers. After installing this last item my Fn keys started to work after a reboot! Lastly I went to the same vaio support page and I installed Sony Utils DLL.

Thus far everything was working except the fn key shortcuts. I'm surprised how good the win7 troubleshooter works! Some of the remaining hardware drivers such as the webcam and memory stick reader was found by win7 troubleshooter. I googled it and decided to install the closest driver I could find which was not really compatible with Win7 but after a few attempts of installing the same driver the problem was somehow solved. Windows 7 itself pointed out that there was a missing driver which was 'Sony Programmable I/O Control Device (SPIC)'.

My vaio model is sz2hp/b.Īfter installing win7 didn't see the GeForce card so I manually installed nVidia driver and then Sony Event services, Sony Shared Library respectively from It was a clean install and I had no backup of any drivers whatsoever since I was switching to windows from linux. I recently installed win7 ultimate x86 (32 bit).
