Bobs your uncle. :)

Wow ... you know that too.
Now will surely have to trouble you a bit more.

Thanks osholt, FZ21Z, CassieFWinTeam & thefabe for all your pre-installation assistance.
Successfully clean installed W7 Pro on VAIO CS17G & gladly the most dreaded issues were taken care. The device manager is recognizing web cam as earlier 'Sony Visual Communication Camera' (though hv'nt checked using it). The Volume, Mute, Home, End, Pg Up & Pg Dwn FN keys are working.

But ... (now comes the time for assisting on the other side)

1) The Touch Panel is'nt working.

2) The Brightness Adjustment FN Keys are also not working.

3) While going around with the drivers, faced issue with Battery Checker 4.0.0.05260 (EP0000204359.exe). As the system rebooted after installation of this, started getting error message (screenshot attached) stating;

The installed battery may not be properly connected to the computer or may not be compatible with this computer.

Click 'OK' to enter Hibernate mode and remove and re-insert the battery.

Tried removing the battery & replacing it but no luck. For now have disabled the ISB Utility from the startup & the message is not popping up. But I feel the battery is draining a bit quickly. Using the laptop for about 30-40mins brought it down from 93% to 55%.

Pls assist.

Unless using the Windows Key + X is a major issue

Hv'nt check that, will update.

FZ21Z said:

Did you use the Battery Checker from HERE?

Nope, i downloaded it from here. Looks to be the same version.
So what should I do with that error message?

The Win+X is working.

File name: Pointing.EXE
File size: 6.48MB (6,795,620 Byte)

Okay, I did this for pointing - Synaptics Pointing Driver for 32 Bit (EP0000128146.exe)

Try reinstalling the program to see if that helps.

From where, the link provided by you? But how do I uninstall the same in first place.
Its not showing in Control Panel/ Program & Features. Also, what exactly is the purpose of Battery Checker?

Also, right now tried sending a file to another laptop via Bluetooth, though the file got transferred but got an error message of missing driver for adapter.

FZ21Z said:

Try running the installer and see if it gives you any options.

Okay, will do & update.

Without googling it I wouldn't know, as it's not something I've bothered to use.

I did ... cld'nt find anything of relevance. How can I uninstall the Battery Checker?

FZ21Z said:

I take it you've installed the driver from your driver page?

Yup ... what should I do? Re-install?

BTW, thanks for Win+X, was'nt aware of the shortcut.
Whats the keyboard shortcut for 'Shut Down' in W7?

Okay, will wait for your answer on how to uninstall Battery Checker.
What I have been using as keyboard shortcut for 'Shut Down' is; 'Win Key' then 'Right Cursor' then 'Enter'
