S-Button Problem

Speedway16ie — Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:26:38 GMT

hey i was uninstalling some software from my Vaio FE-11H and i must have removed a .dll file that corresponded to the Shortcut (s-button) buttons above the keyboard on the laptop. Whenever i go to set the shortcut buttons to an application now i get an error saying "Can't Launch". Does anyone happen to know file(s) i would need to copy onto the machine to retrieve this functionality

thanks a lot

Hi Speedway16ie and welcome to the forum.

The pre-installed utilities for your model can be downloaded from Vaio-Link.

thanks rich i got them there. Doesnt seem to have fixed the S-Button problem though. I installed the utility #5 is that the correct one for the S-Button event config?

Yes that is the correct one Speedway16ie, but you first need to install Sony Utilities (folder1) and Sony Shared Library Folder 2) followed by Vaio Event services (folder 5), then re-boot. You may possibly need to repeate the procedure a couple of times before the keys will work.
