Hi chico santana and welcome.

To configure your keyboard layout go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab > Details > Add – select your input language and keyboard layout.

The Fn keys need some Sony Utilities. Download the pre-installed utility package for your model from Vaio Link and then install the following (in this order)

1 Sony Utilities – installer folder 1
2 Sony Shared Library – installer folder 2
3 Vaio Event Service – installer folder 7

….then re-boot. You may find it necessary to repeat this procedure two or three times before all works as it should.

Vaio-Link

1. Already I am with the configured language;
2. I do not know which the model of the keyboard. But that it is the model of the Europe, bought in Germany.
3. I did not obtain to locate the data of the Fn keyboard key. Where it is Sony Shared Library?
4. The archive Vaio Event Service is executable (.exe). It is for installing everything or only folder 7?

Thank you,

Hi Rich,

I obtained to configure the keyboard and the language. It remains only the Fn keyboard key and the too much functions of the keyboard. My doubts are:
1 - The installation sequence is all in the folder Sony Utilities? Download that I made of this folder has 12 archives.
2 - Where it is Sony Shared Library? It is archive 2 of the folder Sony Utilities?
3 - The archive Vaio Event Service that I made download is executable (.exe) and is not in the folder of Sony Utilities. It is for installing this or only archive 7 of the folder of Sony Utilities?

At last, summarizing, all the archives to be installed are in the folder Sony Utilities?

Thank you,

Chico

Hi chico,

When you extract the pre-installed utilities you will find the 12 folders you mention in the Utils folder.

Utils Installer folder 1 is the application Sony Utilities Dll and contains an executable Setup.exe – run this first.

Then Utils Installer folder 2 contains Sony Shared Library for XP – run setup.exe.

Finally Utils Installer folder 7 contains VAIO Event Service – run setup.exe.

I hope this helps.
