Hi all, this is my first post so I wasn't really sure where I should write this but I guess this is ok. I just got m first Vaio (VGN-S3XP) and I am having a minor problem with my keyboard. I got the HD formatted the day I bought the laptop but I was careful enough to save into a CD the drivers and utilities that were already installed. However, after the format, and as I was updating the drivers via CD, I didn't find the keyboard drivers...
Then I had to wait two weeks before the drivers were available at the vaio-link website, and now that they are available, I can't seem to find the drivers for the keyboard... they're just not included in the "Preinstalled drivers" file
Although I can write perfectly and most of the keyboard functions are ok, I cannot use the Fn combination for sound/contrast control, etc, but I can use it for the Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys, as it was expected.
I really don't know what else I should do so I've decided to ask you guys.
Thank you very much,

Hi again. Thanks a lot, I completely forgot to search the Utilities package... and there it was! :smileygrin:
Thanks again!

welcome to the ClubVAIO, dcoliveira
Hello dcoliveira,
congratulations to the new s3xp.
We had a recent discussion about fan noises on the s2xp.
See here:

I wonder whether the fan behaves the same on the updated machine s3xp: switch on/off quite often, even on lowest performance settings.
Can you give us some idea?
cheers, bugge.
I think all you need to do is install the utils.exe package from VAIO-Link, and set the correct keyboard in Control Panel > Regional Settings.
Hi :smileygrin:
I guess the fan works just fine... it just begins moving really quickly when I'm performing a large number of things at the same time... apart from that, I guess I can never hear it This computer is really great!

Hi there. I'm Portuguese and I live in Lisbon, but I had to go to Coimbra (about 250 kms North of Lisbon) in order to buy the S3XP. I searched every single store I knew in Lisbon and they all said the same: "this computer will only be available in the end of March", but then I googled other Portuguese stores and I found three that already had it. I was very lucky though because this thing has so much demand. Had I ordered it one day later and problably I'd have to wait until April :smileycry:, but everything went well.
My best regards,
Diogo
