261217 2004-08-13 11:53:00 does anyone know how to activate the hot keys on a laptop. Mine used to work but no longer theother1 (3573)
261218 2004-08-13 12:31:00 The hotkeys are activated by software running in the background,have a look under msconfig for an entry and tick it if unticked.

Alternativly you can download the program from asus

261220 2004-08-13 20:51:00 Thanks Metla,
I found that but Hcontrol wouldn't open. However, I should have said that only one of the hot keys is not doing what I want. Ihad installed Mozilla and then had cause to delete it but it had obviously overwritten the commands for the hot key, which ceased to work from the uninstall.
I tried to download from Asus but couldn't find the correct driver.
Cheers,

261223 2004-08-14 07:52:00 Actually I have been doing some research (in the catalogue) and the problem I have is with "Instant Launch Keys" not hot keys as I said earlier.
Duh!!!!

That is the utilites download page for your laptop,if it came loaded on your comp then its available on that page.

second from the bottom is HotKey_ME2KXP.zip,although the A2H/L ATK0100 Utility looks interesting as well,i sugest you grab em both.

I haven't been online for a few days but I just visited the site and downloaded the ATK0100 thing and restarted the comp and voila, as they say en francais, she work.
