Upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and having problems?

I upgraded my Vaio that ran on Vista to Windows 7. After the upgrade, I noticed that none of the function keys (including volume control) are working now and every time I turn on my laptop it comes up with an error message that says "kernal debugger needs to be deactived," or something like that. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

    Hmm im not too sure about the "kernal dubugger" part but what the problem is about your volume control is that you need the new drivers for windows vista... Go to your computer's website (sony?) And go to support...Drivers...Windows vista. You should find the drivers there...When you start the computer up with vista just run the drivers. :)

    Reinstall Windows 7 doing a clean install. The "upgrade" install option is what usually causes these types of problems.

    Do a Google search for:

    Windows 7 upgrade clean install

    And choose you will find tons of tutorials on how to do it...

    If you upgraded OS with SPTD active, it probably screwed the SPTD configuration, so un-install Daemon Tools (if it fails, just delete the installation folder),

    open registry editor (run regedit), go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\sptd

    and change "Start" value to 4, then reboot.

    After reboot open registry editor again, and enable all permissions of sptd\cfg key (right-click on sptd\cfg -> select Permissions), then delete entire sptd key and reboot again.

    Now re-install.
