S1 & S2 on VGN-AR71M

The update from Vista to Win 7 works excellent. All keys but S1 and S2 functions OK. I know that these two can be programmed, but I can't find how/where.

The programming window should open if you press and hold S1 or S2.

You can also open this window through Vaio Control Centre.

Thank you Blencogo!
However, S1/S2 are dead. If I choose 'Keyboard' in Vaio Control Center I only find the Speed-
and Hardwarealternatives. None of these mention the S1/S2-functions.
I have tried, without success, to reinstall some of the programmes in '2008Q1 Utilities'.
But which-one belongs to the S keys?

Not having S1/S2 in use is no disaster. But, ....

I'm not sure which actual utility works the S1 & S2 keys.

I would try: -

Sony Shared Library
Vaio Event Service
Setting Utility Series
Appmon

which are the most likely candidates.

Perhaps someone else can be more specific.

I thank you once again Blencogo!

The answer is Setting Utility Series! S1&S2 is back to work.

(The one I missed, of course.)
