XP Professional on FE21S

Hi guys

A while ago I posted about having trouble installing XP Pro on a FE21S well you will be pleased to know I have now got round the initail problems I had with drivers - the PC has a very fussy order in which they must be installed. I have documented this so if anyone wants a copy let me know.

However there are 3 things that I am having trouble with which I am sure someone here will know the answer to.

1. I can not get the special keys to work - ie the ones labelled S1 and S2 - which Sony application is responsible for these?

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.

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?

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?

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?

Thanks in advance to anyone that knows some parts to this puzzle!

Hi Trombonedougie,

1) Have you installed all the Preinstalled Utilities They need to be installed in order and may need to be installed more than once before they work...

2) This thread may offer a solution...

5) Right click on your application disk and select explore, what file extension are your applications files...?
