A317M - special keys problem with XP PRO

[belial96]

Hi,

I just get a A317M. I installed XP Pro with SP2 but now, I can't get the 'extra' buttons working (sound level, brightness, S, cd eject).
I have the restore CD, I download everything from vaio-link, but nothing seems to work.

Is there anybody to help me ?

Thanks,

Yves

Yves,

Did you install the utils.exe file?

Hi,

Sorry but I don't have utils.exe file.
I have downloaded and installed everything from vaio-link, but the 'hot keys' still don't work.

Thanks for your answer,

Yves

Check your DVD too

I have also checked my dvd of course.
I searched on the web and i could'nt find that exe .....

I forgot to say that my A317 is a second hand one.
The only dvd I have is the one I burned myself.

So, I don't find any utils.exe file.

Thanks again.

Did you download the drivers package from the site? (Original Drivers and Utilities I think they called it)

[belial96]

Yes I did ....
I'm tired of this, I sell this PC ....

Thanks a lot for your answers....

You could buy a recovery dvd. But I don't know wheter this would be help.:smileysad:

I have an A317M too. There is an utility called "VAIO recovered tool". This aplication must be installed in your VAIO. I recommend you to burn a recovery DVD and turn your computer back to initial state.
