1. Sony Shared library

2. Setting utility series

3. Vaio Event service

4. Vaio Control center

You can get the from here - ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/WIN7UPGRADE/

Make sure to uninstall what you have on now, install in the above order, and reboot as required. It worked for me on mine, so may for you on yours.

ok so on the site there are different versions of the drivers. I've tried different combinations but I still can't manage to get it to work. Which ones should I install for a 32bit OS?

I've successfully installed the above drivers but now I can't seem to get the NVIDIA to work. I try following the forum you posted before with the step by step instructions but it doesn't work. Here's what is not working:

Camera, Graphics Card, and in device manager there is this unknown device Mass Storage Controller which I believe is the RAID controller but I cannot get the driver to work. Also the FN button works but when I adjust the brightness it doesn't do anything. The little adjustment screen pops up with the level of brightness but it only goes 1 tick down or up but with no effect.

Guide updated to include Windows 7 and 64Bit drivers. Install process for Windows 7 is identical to Vista, unless where specified below.

- WINDOWS 7 / VISTA / XP CLEAN INSTALL & MULTI-BOOT GUIDE - 32Bit & 64Bit

That is a guide for your model, which you might now be better of running on a clean install.
