FN_Vista help please!

I did everything you said and everything works but the brightness buttons. The Brightness indicator does appear onthe screen but only 1 level can be adjusted and this only shows on the indicator, the screens brightness does not change.

If anyone can help me with this, it would be wonderfull, the sceen is a bit bright an night.

I have the sony vaio VGN_FZ31

I have the same problem as Rebis. I can only see one block on the OSD for brightness when I press fn+f6, but nothing happens to the brightness...

I have a fw 390j..

Just want to share this and thank those people who shared and even provided the software for the brightness adjust.
I recently bought a VGN-NR37G with Vista home premium, as I need a domain network, I had no choice but to get rid of Vista home and install xp pro instead. As with other people here in the thread, I had several issues in downgrading to XP. I had to collect drivers from different places and then I got the problem of brightness and external video hotkey not working. The brightness software provided above, worked well for my Vaio VGN-NR37G, so for those who would be buying this model, have no fear, you can downgrade and all drivers and brightness functions would work. Now with the external video, I could not get the hotkey to work but just on the video properties I can choose monitor no. 2 and switch around from 1 to 2 and vice versa. As I use my laptop at work, I need this during my presentation using a projector. Now I am a happy chappy

you are outstanding Fn Vista, it worked perfectly on my ar71s, except the media buttons, they work only with windows media player, tried with winamp and vlc and they don't work.
