Your actual laptop was discontinued so its been abit difficult to find the drivers

I take it you have up graded windows installation maybe why your having trouble correct me if im wrong?

 

[MAJISTRAL]

yes i did upgrade to windows 7 professionnal to help you : they said i need these drivers for my pc model:
VAIO EVENT SERVICE
HOT KEYS UTILITY
OR something like SONY SHARED LIBRARY and SETTING UTILTY SERIES

Hi just a quick check up from digging deep try this first as it may not be your drivers tbh

In your 'Start' menu search and click on 'Run' and type in services.msc
You'll see a long list called Services (Local), click on the name parameter to have them sorted alphabetically.
Find the one called VAIO Event Service. Double click this and ensure that for Startup Type it says 'automatic', if it does not, change it to 'automatic' and click 'apply'.
Then be sure below that, that the Service Status says 'Started'.
If it does not then change its option to start.

let me know if this helps ?

If that does not help here is sony vaio's hidden page for upgrading laptop's you will find Settings Utility series in there as i just have seen it and you can try one called control centre let me know if it works

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/WIN7UPGRADE/

Also the hotkey's section is this link may be of use but id try the upgrade section i showed you as that should be of more use

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/HOTKEY/

 

[MAJISTRAL]

yes a found vaio event service i downloaded it before but it's not the suitable for the laptop model so even if it works it only gave me the control over F2 F3 F4 keys wich work only for th volum and not the luninosity

 

[dexislegend123]

Did you try both upgrade and hotkey links i gave you ?

 

[MAJISTRAL]

im now on the web adresses that you gave me i'll let you lnow if that helps

 

[dexislegend123]

As the Upgrade link gives you the SONY SHARED LIBRARY and SETTING UTILTY SERIES driver if you upgrade to windows 7.
Whilst the hotkey link gives you the original hotkey drivers.

Your model was discontinued d.w im still searching for a model thats like for like.

 

[dexislegend123]

Your model is not included in this but as it was taken off shelves it may have been removed from devices
Windows XP Drivers and Applications for VPCS Series (Indvidual Drivers) : Download : Sony Middle East & Africa < You can give that ago aswell its the drivers for the VPCS series

Ohhh and last min thing i found a tutorial for common issues with windows 7 and sony vaio FN keys heres a tutorial:

Get Sony VAIO Event Service (Function keys - Brightness, Volume etc.) to work in Windows 7 - Guru Guy - Professional IT Advice, Guides and Resources for all things Windows(R) and Networking

 

[MAJISTRAL]

yes i did try them and the laptop tells me that i already have a newer version of the drivers the fabrication of my pc as i saw on sony website is at 2010 and those that you gave me are for 2009 so i have the versions i think the only prb i have is that i downloaded the drivers for another model of vaio laptops simply because i haven't found mine

 

[dexislegend123]

Hi just clarify aswell you have done everything on this ?

how to instal a dll file?

 

[MAJISTRAL]

didn't work with me seems like i'll throw the damn laptop against the wall

 

[dexislegend123]

you want to know how to install a .dll ? If so

Press start search CMD when it opens up type "regsvr32 dll_name."

then press enter should confirm if not close.

Ignore the fact your on g4-bit it should work fine.

Upgrading from original OS especially if your laptops drivers were discontinued

Allir ökumenn sem þú þarft! that is another page for drivers. If the brightness will not turn up is that hte only problem?

and also can you please send me a print screen of your device manager

Right click My computer>Device Manager>Expand all options>Print screen and post here

As i can actually see if infact anything is missing?

As your only going by a driver fault..
