Hi -

I don't have the same VAIO as you, but in order for the Sony Hotkey Utility
to work, you first need to install the Sony Shared Library and, on some less
recent models, Sony Utilities DLL.

Download and install the above then re-install the Hotkey Utility, reboot,
and you should have Hotkey functionality.
