I recntly bought an FX340 for my wife from ebay for a great price.
It works great, I even put in a 40GB hard drive and added another stick of RAM.

My problem is the drivers for the video. I downloaded some that work, but do not allow 800x600 resolution I know, who wants 800x600, she uses it to play scrabble online. The drivers I found allow 800x600 to be played shrunk down inside the disply (it occupies about 75% of the total screen) I also cannot find the drivers to enable the Function buttons they do not work now. I have checked the Sony website and searched everywhere.

If anyone has a Sony FX-XXX series laptop and has an original Driver disk please PM me and we can work out a deal. Or anyone have a suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks

For the hotkey utility you need to download a coulpe specific files and install prior. Read the description on sonys site for your model and what you are trying to install. All of the factory drivers and even a bios update or two are available on sony. If you have problems finding them ther get on live help through contact sales/support Theyre pretty good at finding them.
