few problems with new vgn c1

c1girl — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 12:14:52 GMT

hello everybody,

first of all:
I HAVE A NEW VAIO VGN C1 IN WHITE! *proud*

but I have a view problems after reinstalling my system.
I installed a clean Windows XP Prof on my system and all the drivers and utils from vaio-link.com
after that my soundcard didn't work, but i solved the problem with a new realtek driver. but the biggest problem are the function keys.
the keys for the soundmanagement (F2 - F4) work properly but all others don't.
very important for me are the display keys (F5-F7) especially the switchkey (F7). the zoom (F10) and the sleepmode (F12) keys don't work either. the strange thing is that I can switch the monitor via the preferences...

the problems appeared first after I installed the new windows prof.
does anybody know what software I have to install to get this keys work again?

thanks a lot!

cheers

Hello Kee-Lo,

not direct the utils.exe file.
there are 2 files to download:
1. C1_Driver.zip
2. C1_Utils.zip

I unpacked these files and intalled everything inside.
there are a few folders like
Utils Installer 1 SonyUtils DLL (ver 6.5.0.07050)
Utils Installer 2 Sony Shared Library
or drivers:
Audio
Bluetooth
Chipset
Video1
Video2

but it doesn't seem to work.

I fergot to tell you another problem.
if i try to install the bluetooth i should activate the bluetooth dureing the installation.
but HOW can I switch on my bluetooth device?

thanks

what a lazy support.
I opened an e-ticket and that was the answer:

"*** NOTES 08-Dec-2006 Action Type: Info
Dear

Thank you for contacting us.

Please note that we can only support the preinstalled Operating System and software. The Sony software will only work with the preinstalled OEM Operating System it came bundled with; the newer versions are not sold separately. If you are looking for drivers, then please visit our website, there are updates available. Please go to our website www.vaio-link.com and select the ‘Drivers and Updates’ link under the header ‘Downloads area’. You will need to enter your model number (28xxxxxx) and serial number (5xxxxxx) if you are accessing our website from another computer than your VAIO.

Regards,

Have you tried retoring the VAIO and then upgrading it to XP Pro?
