Since having Windows 7 installed on my Vaio VGN-A617M the mute and volume buttons do not work  has anyone any thoughts ?

Hi MRTEES,

The Fn keys require the Vaio Software Utilities for their operation.

Unfortunately, Sony do not support Windows 7 on your model, so these Utilities are not available for Windows 7.

I suggest you try installing the Utilities provided for Windows Vista - I would expect these to work.  You need to download and install IN ORDER -

1. Sony Utils DLL

2. Sony Shared Library

3. Setting Utility Series

4. Vaio Event Service

You can download these from here: -

You may possibly need to install these twice!
