Installed the Sony controllers in the 2nd post on a z550n running 32-bit win7.

FN volume works... but little else.

FN brightness does nothing (though the slider in Window's mobility works in both speed and stamina).

I can't change fan speeds in the Vaio Control Center (my primary goal) and can't turn my CD drive on and off.

You did notice that the entire post is just for 64 bit?
He clearly stated:
"4. These are Windows 7 x64 drivers"

Got everything working fine on mine. Brightness in both modes. But background becomes black after switching STAMINA-POWER or wise-versa. I suspect the video driver is not polished well enough... Anyone experiencing same thing? Thank you, guys.

What do you mean by background becomes black? Do you mean the wallpaper? When I swtich Stamina-Power, the screen will goes off for around 2 seconds and then come back normally without any change in wallpaper.

Hey Firestone, can you also provide a version of the file with all those drivers packed as one single file? Your link has 30 sec wait on every file download.

Yes, the wallpaper disappears (black)...And then I need to restart the system to get it back.

there is a max restrict of 100 mb per file... so there still will be 4 files in all (300+++ mb) ...

if you want, i can try to load it over the weekend for you.

otherwise, you can try to open multi pages and try to download all at the same go, since i have no issues with multi-download at the same time

The whole thing took me less than 15 minutes with all of the built-in delays.
The maximum delay per file was about 45 seconds, the lowest about 10.
No big deal at all to grab them all.
