Sony do not support Windows 7 on your model.  Generally, Drivers and Utilities released for use with Vista should work OK - for the special and Fn keys, you need to reinstall the original Sony Utilities for Vista which you can download from here: -

Unfortunately, the Vista nVidia driver is an exception and you will need to find this driver elsewhere.  There are 3 places you can look for this driver: -

1.  From Windows Update - search for a driver upload from the Microsoft website.

2.  From another Vaio model - I have not tried it but you may like to try installing the nVidia driver from the VGN-AW21S.  It is available as a 32-bit or a 64-bit download from here - scroll down towards the bottom: -

3.  From a third party website where you may have to modify the installer .INF file - read the Quickstart Guide carefully:

Hello,

You also can try to download from :

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/notebook-win7-winvista-275.33-whql-driver-uk.html

I have supossed you have installed a 32bits version of W7 so the link is for that version.

Regards.

Hi,

The camera driver is the same for Vista and Windows 7.

Download the Original Drivers Package and reinstall your original camera driver.
