Ya, I'll do that mr. greg.
After connecting for two days to help Buck resolve his problem, here is what worked:
Vaio was still infected with Condit and a search sneak which were cleaned up.
Even after reinstalling the four Vaio utilities given earlier which are required to make function buttons work correctly after a reinstall, the display brightness would not change even though it showed on-screen as being changed. Buck uninstalled all of the Vaio to try to get rid of the bloatware and any conflicts, but reinstalling the four still didn't help.
This was resolved after much trial and error by updating the Display driver, which when tried from Device Manager strangely "updated" from a 2013 to 2009 driver shipped with this GPU. Rarely do we see Updates go backward unless problems are reported with newer drivers and Win7. Sure enough, neither of the two more recent 2013 drivers on Vaio webpage worked correctly, only the 2009 one which WUD delivers.
