If it’s a Vaio it’s either F2 or F3.

Or just uninstall it then click action –\> scan for hardware changes. In XP it will auto re-install the driver.

That didn’t work. ☹

I’m going to try JayS’s thing now. BRB…

Definitely a software issue. Sony and their stupid proprietary bullshit.

Time for scorched earth policy enactment.
