Desperate help please Sony Vaio SZ34GP

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi all
I just did a clean installation of Windows Vista on my Vaio SZ34GP. Took few hours and i managed to install and update most of the drivers and applications but ran into a few problems

1. Same problems with a lot of ppl (i tried searching forum) The FN function keys. How do i go about it making it work with brightness and volume

2. For SZ series, i have the S1, S2 button so is the speed/stamina and wireless switch button. So far, none of this buttons work. How do i go about making them work.
I have install Sony Control Center, and was able to access the settings for S button but when i click on them nothing happens

3. My laptop seems to be unable to find my Geforce Go 7400 Graphics card. I installed the basic Intel express graphics card and that went fine. But the laptop couldnt find the geforce graphics card. setting the switch on speed doesnt do anything.
I downloaded the XP version driver and the Vista version driver of from the Sony support and Nvidia Support but both gives me a "fail update driver" error. Device manager doesnt show the graphics card, just the intel chipset one.

That is all the problems i have at the moment
If you guys can give me a hand with this, that will be great
Thank you

Well since you installed more than one driver try doing a rollback and just getting rid of whatever drivers you tried to install already to get it back to a "fresh" factory state. Then from there go on to download only the latest certified drivers from Vista and Nvidia for you particular setup.

Once you've taken care of those and have that working (as in you're able to see your 7400Go card) then you can go on to getting the Fn keys to work, which I hear is just a matter of finding the appropriate drivers after some digging. Once you get that first part working let me know and we can move on to getting your Fn keys up and running.
