function button not working

hello just bought my first vaio, got the model vgn-fs740/w. Basically what i did was make a fresh install of win xp corp ed. on this notebook and installed the drivers. I did not use the recovery dvd's and don't want to use the pre-installed software that it came with. After the installation, i find that the function button does not work, so i can't lower the volume or brightness of the screen. How do i fix this problem? is there a driver that i should download? if someone could help, that would be great.

You may be missing a specific driver needed for the function button to operate correctly. All drivers for your model are listed in the link, plus there are directions at the top of the page for installing your own copy of XP without all the Sony software included.

Also check out how to enable special buttons and function keys on the Sony support site.

BTW, welcome to TechIMO!!!
