SZ2M - installed Vista -> Fn Keys don't work :(

Hi!

I bought a Vaio SZ2M/B and burned the recovery DVD's. After that I formatted the hdd and installed Windows Vista Business.
Now the problem that I have: The Fn-keys don't work!
If I press Fn + a F-key - nothing happens (it doesn't even appears a green bar when trying to change the volume)
The S1 and S2 keys don't show any reaction neither.

These keys are very important to me, because I use the notebook for university and often need to mute sounds.

How can i activate these Keys?

thanks in advance,
yas9

You have to install the utilities of your VAIO.

You can find the utility package at "Sony VAIO Link". Take a look at "Drivers and Updates".

But I have no idea whether they worik on Vista. You probably have to wait for official Windows Vista release to get full driver and software support.

I have recently also been beta testing for microsoft. The features can be instaleld as Seb 21 mentioned but the volume does not work. The brightness still funtions normally as well as the zoom features etc. But i don't reckomend Vista to any Club Vaio Member as it is currently very unstable.
