You may have tried this already. All I can suggest is to reinstall all the Sony Original Utilities. We have seen problems before with Ultimate not supporting all the features in Home Premium - there is something odd with Ultimate not recognising software that works in Home Premium.

You can download the necessary Utilities from the download page for your model here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=en_GB&m=VGN-FW31ZJ

and you will need to install all the Utilities that were preinstalled when you bought your Vaio.

You need these Original Vista Utilities: -

SFEP Driver
Sony Shared Library
Vaio Event Service
Setting Utility Series

to fix the problems you mention but I would also install: -

Power Management
Vaio Smart Network
Vaio Control Centre

Just check they support all 32-bit Systems - it looks like all the utilities do but some of the drivers are 64-bit only so if you need any of these, you may have to look at the Windows 7 Upgrade drivers for a different model. Try the FW31M here:

Good Luck
