the function keys doesnt need any extra driver.

but if you want to use tha additional features of function key like save, load, close and many more then you can get the software directly from official website of sony. alternativel you can download hotkeycontrol xp by which you can reconfigure you keyboard to add extra feature and options

make sure you have all the latest and updated drivers installed for windows XP.

For the function keys to function properly install the necessary drivers by looking in the website for updates.

If you have downgraded, it means you reformatted your hard drive and installed a new operating system.
Now you must go to Sony's site and download the drivers for the motherboard, as they are not included in Windows.
You should be able to find your model at this link:
