Viao event service 4.2 : VAIO Event Service Software Informer: version 4.2 information

Hi Storey1220,
sorry i didn't answer earlier as I've been out all evening... hic!
I found a different download location for the third link which can be found here:
Download Sony Video Shared Library 3.5.0 - UpdateStar.com
The a different link for the first can be found here ( it's written in blue, under 'software')
[Drivers & Software] Only the Newest versions! - Notebook Forums and Laptop Discussion
Fingers crossed that these links work a little better for you..
I found this page which has a list of xp drivers for your model...
Sony eSupport - PCG-FRV25 - Software Updates & Drivers
I'm wondering that if you download the needed driver but before you install it, right-click, choose properties and then compatibility. Choose the setting for xp sp2 and hopefully it might install?
I got it working now
Install exactly in this order:
Download all sony drivers for Vista
Instal Vaio event service
Reboot
Install Sony DLL Utils
Reboot
Install Sony shared Library
Reboot and it should work
Hi Story1220,Thanks Kemical....... you were very prompt and really helpful !!! Unfortunately, my model of the Sony Vaio (PCG-FRV25) is too old to have any of the files you mentioned in order to get the Fn keys working. The Event Service file installed perfectly but the Sony Utilities DLL file appears to be model specific and therefore doesn't install on my laptop. I tried looking for model unspecific files but was unable to find any. Could you suggest something as a work around for getting the Fn keys working ? Thanks again for being so willing to help.
