Sony VAIO

[rctneil]

Hey,
Just installed Windows 7 on my mum's Sony VAIO and I am trying to find the drivers on the Sony Website to allow the volume and media playback function buttons to work but I do not know which to choose. Any ideas?

What model Sony VAIO is it?

A search of the forums brings up a thread on this today!

The Model: pcg 3f1m

If you enter the follwing two numbers into the two boxes under serial number on the sony website, it brings up the correct set of drivers

54000795
0000003

Have you tried downloading the Vista / XP drivers and putting them into compatibility mode?

 

[rctneil]

No, not yet as I don;t know which driver allows those buttons to work

Got it from logging into the site with your serial from above, then Originally Installed.

Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities, VAIO_Control_Center_3.2_091Q_3.2.0.09120.zip

ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/Vaio/Original/VAIO_Control_Center_3.2_091Q_3.2.0.09120.zip

Put it in Vista compatibility mode.
