Hi jacko86 and welcome to Club Vaio.

It would help if you tell us what you have tried.

Have you installed the Original Utilities Package for the VGN-N11S - this model was sold with XP installed and the Utilities should work for you.

You can download them here: -

Preinstalled Drivers and Utilities for VGN-N11S

I would install them all in order but to just get the Fn Keys working, you must install in order: -

1. Sony Utils DLL
2. Sony Shared Library
3. Setting Utility Series
4. Vaio Event Service

I have tried to install the utilities you suggested me but only the function button of the audio works.The others for brightness and vga out are not working at all.I have tried to install thousand of different utilities of different models of Vaio's laptops but nothing..

I'd like to have them working but I have the impression looking on the forums on the web that none have managed to solve this problem after downgrading to Xp. And this is clearly Sony's fault cause they didn't make any utility for this..

If someone has suggestions ..
