I have documented this so if anyone wants a copy let me know.<BR /><BR />However there are 3 things that I am having trouble with which I am sure someone here will know the answer to.<BR /><BR />1. I can not get the special keys to work - ie the ones labelled S1 and S2 - which Sony application is responsible for these?<BR /><BR />2. The Mass storage controller driver - I have this installed (Its for the memory stick) but when the PC came from Sony there was a nice icon for this drive which showed a small pictire of a memory stick - i just have one of those horrid icons Windows uses as defualt when it doesnt have one for it.<BR /><BR />3. The bluetooth controller and wireless switch - although I have got bluetooth installed, when the PC came from SOny the wiresless swictch controlled 3 things - bluetooth on/off and wireless 2 or 5 ghz. Anyone know which Sony apps need to be installed to get this to work as before?<BR /><BR />4. The inbuilt camera - when this used to start an application opened up that allowed you to change contrast/brightness etc. Anyine know which one?<BR /><BR />5. Finally the PC came with lots of Sony software which is on the recovery DVD I made - unfortunately none of it is clear what it is for - anyone know?<BR /><BR />Thanks in advance to anyone that knows some parts to this puzzle!<BR /><BR />TB<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 10:04:25 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/xp-professional-on-fe21s/m-p/162599#M90724 MED1975 2006-08-14T10:04:25Z Re: XP Professional on FE21S https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/xp-professional-on-fe21s/m-p/162601#M90725 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Trombonedougie,<BR /><BR />1) Have you installed all the <A href="http://www.vaio-link.com/downloads/preinstalled/preinstalled.asp?l=en&amp;category=-1&amp;serie=-1&amp;m=2276" target="_blank">Preinstalled Utilities</A> They need to be installed in order and may need to be installed more than once before they work...<BR /><BR />2) This <A href="http://www.club-vaio.com/clubvaio/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=31221" target="_blank">thread</A> may offer a solution...<BR /><BR />5) Right click on your application disk and select explore, what file extension are your applications files...?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 14 Aug 2006 10:21:56 GMT https://community.sony.lt/t5/pcs-accessories/xp-professional-on-fe21s/m-p/162601#M90725 Thalamus. 2006-08-14T10:21:56Z
