You could try the following..

Can't remember what model Vaio you have.

Download the following utilities for your Vaio from Vaio-Link, (may be original Preinstalled Utilities, if so you'll need to extract the files first)

Then install the following, in order.

1 Sony Utilities
2 Sony Shared Library
3 Vaio Event Service

Once completed then re-boot your Vaio.

You may have to do this more than once..

Hi Carl,

try the following..

install the following, in order.

SFEP (Should be located in C:\drivers if not download the original pre-installed drivers from vaio support, extract the folders to locate the SFEP folder)

Sony Shared Library (located in the utilities file you downloaded the other day)
Vaio Event Service (located in the utilities file you downloaded the other day)
Setting Utility Series (located in the utilities file you downloaded the other day)

Once completed then re-boot your Vaio.

You may have to do this a couple of times..
