After a fresh install of Windows 7 my AR81M works excellent; following the instructions given here even the FN-buttons functions OK.
All but S1 & S2. How/where do I find the way to instruct these useful buttons?
You can set the assignments for the S1 & S2 buttons in All Programs -> VAIO Control Centre. There is a window for setting the assignments.
Alternatively you can press and hold the button and it should take you direct to this setting window.
I cannot find 'VAIO Control Centre' in 'All Programs' and nor can I find it in the download list.
I downloaded and installed 'Vaio Original Function Settings'; no result.
Where are you trying to download from?
I cannot find a model with the designation AR81M on the European download site.
I think you need to go to the 'Originally Installed' Tab and download the 'Original Utilities Package' and install the Utility programs enclosed which incluse Vaio Control Centre.
SORRY, SORRY Blencogo!
VGN AR71M
And I found Control Center; and what more it worked! My S-keys are back to work!
Thank you very much!
