I didnвЂ™t install any of the other drivers or utilities from the pack because of either I donвЂ™t need it or the device was working perfectly without installing a 2007 version of driver.

Sony shared library and restart (now everything should work).

SonyUtils dll and restart (At this point volume buttons should be working but not fn key).

So, I installed the following utilites from Sony utilities pack in the following order: And also my volume keys, mute key, and display off key wasnвЂ™t working either. Then comes the fact that none of my fn key combinations were working, including brightness control and LCD display control.

OK, then install the camera driver from the driver folder and restart. I donвЂ™t know whether it works for you, but for me the link is this one. So I went to the driver download section of sony europe support portal (not the US one, that doesnвЂ™t have CR11 series) and download all the utilities and drivers on my D drive. The problem after installation was my internal camera wasnвЂ™t working. I burned a dvd from the iso file and booted my laptop from it and selected to format and install on my C drive. Although this means I am gonna lose the apps I got from Sony, I was happy with it because Adobe acrobat standard is the only thing that I am gonna miss.ДЄnyway, installation of windows 7 was uneventful. I decided that I have had enough of vista and I am gonna do a clean install of windows 7 professional.
