Re: Fn keys not working
Sounds like a problem with the ATK-100 drivers. Update or reinstall from the Asus site and that should fix it. The Hcontrol.exe is one of the 17 files in the update.

Re: Fn keys not working
Ditto! Re-install the ATK0100 drivers and all SHOULD be well...

Re: Fn keys not working
no luck, still getting error on start up and Fn keys not working. I'll give it one more go.
Also, does the fan ever go off? I have undervolted to 6x @ 0.700 and 14x @ 1.07 and my cpu idle temp is still around 45-47C
it might help to add that i have a z63aLast edited by ericlala; 2nd February 2006 at 03:32 AM.

Re: Fn keys not working
Once the fan starts up... it will stay on indefinitely (in most cases).

Re: Fn keys not working
Actually........ Asus' ATK drivers include all theremal management drives (like the ATK is supposed to) -- but it also controls all the hotkeys and function keys.....
If you're still getting an error - then something's up.. I'd restore the system back to before you had the error because reinstalling it isn't getting rid of it. I guess you could always try to delete them first and then reinstall........ but trying a restore would be pretty easy......Click below to read my Asus news sticky and to find out more about the NBR Member Discount Program (updated 05/10)

Re: Fn keys not working
Are you using Mozilla Firefox? If so, update your Synaptics touchpad drivers from www.synaptics.com
