Hello, I have sony vaio CS VGN - CS36GJ laptop, I have formatted it from vista to windows 7. Now the problem is with AV Mode button. It is not working now. I have also installed pointing driver and utilities as well from sony site. But still it is not working, please give me solution so I can get out of it. Thanx, Vipul Prajapati

Hello,

You can use the AV Mode button when the VAIO is off. This will start the VAIO in Instant On mode. Instant On is a Pre-Operating System
environment which allows to enjoy some multimedia without having to wait for Windows to boot.

Also, you can download the user manual for your laptop by opening the address mentioned below:

Change your system of windows to Windows 7 32bit. Inyou Pc 64bit and problem with driver.

Hi,

The VAIO Launcher Software is responsible for the proper functioning of the AV Mode buttons. Please download and install the same in the computer from the below link:

Thanks

Perform a Windows update first to see if there are updates to correct the drivers. Then if any drivers are still missing, go to the Sony website and locate the Windows 7 drivers for your computer model.

Hi gawaynelcy ,

As you have installed the Windows 7 Operating System in the Computer, it is required to re-install the Drivers and Software in the Computer to fix this issue. Installling the following files in the in the given order should fix the issue.

Hi.
According to the information online, the issue might be due to the VAIO Launcher Application.
The VAIO Launcher Application is responsible for the functionality of the AV Mode keys.
Hence, it would be better to re-install the VAIO Launcher Application.
It is also recommended to install the Sony Shared Library before installing the VAIO Launcher Application.
I have mentioned all the links from which you can download the Sony Shared Library and the VAIO Launcher Application:
