tazg101 — Sat, 07 May 2005 21:12:08 GMT

I have a vaio pcg-k315s and re-installed all the software myself. NOw after reinstallation the function buttons don;t work, the ones on the fuctions keys that control volume, brightness etc. Where is the driver for this as its not in the drivers or utilities package on the vaio-line site. any help please?

Hi

Go to C:\Utils and run utils.exe

It's also available to download on VAIO-Link

You must download the utilities package from VAIO-Link.

There you can find all what you need. You can find the drivers in the driver package.

Hahaha!! Just like me.

You won't find the utils.exe anywhere in VAIO-Link. Trust me you can't find it on VAIO-Link.
They don't have it. Sony VAIO-Link's drivers and utility packages available for download are obsolete and you MUST use the drivers and utilities bundled with your VAIO.

Hence, you must reinstall/recover your VAIO to its original factory state and then backup the drivers and utilities inside, then reinstall whatever software or operating system you want and install the drivers you recently backed up.

That's the only option. Otherwise stick with the original factory installation settings.

Depends on the VAIO, some have it, some don't

Ah, true.

Normaly there must be a driver and utilitie package. But it seems not for the PCG-K315S. I would write a ugly mail to the e-support. Or call VAIO-Link for the package.

By that I take it you mean that you have installed the drivers for the K315s. If so use Windows System Restore to return to a time before installing these drivers (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore).
