Problem with S1 S2 and Fn Buttons

[x-perience]

I have two days that all my S1 , S2 and Fn buttons do not work.
I have a VGN-FS215s laptop and I don't know how to fix this problem.

Right this is easy to fix.

Just visit VAIO-Link and then download the Preinstalled Utilities Package.

Once you have done that, run the program. Then navigate to C:\UTILS and run UTILS.EXE to fix the problem.

Restart your computer and the hotkeys system (FN/S1/S2 etc) will then work.

James - I don’t think that this model has the Utils.exe function, just a number of Utils Installer directories. In which case you need to re-install Sony Utilities and Sony Shared Library, in that order.

You should find a number of Utils installer directories, numbered 1 to 11, at C:\Utils, if not then download the Pre-installed Utilities Package from Vaio Link as James suggests.

Utils Installer 1 contains the Sony Utilities and Utils Installer 2 the Sony Shared Library. Run the Setup executable in each directory.

D'Oh!:smileygrin:

Typical - Sony changes their format of installer.

I really don’t understand why Sony can’t stick to one format:smileyconfused:

Why change a habit of a lifetime?

ROFL

Kee-Lo you went straight for the jugular there, the same as when you asked if they will be ditching Java in the forum software.
