    I've got an Acer VN7-591G-77A9 yesterday and did a clean install of Windows 8.1 first. Everything's fine except one thing: the Acer Launch Manager doesn't seem to work. Normally, there should be a small notification when Caps/Num/Scroll etc. are pressed, but the Acer driver for Launch Manager 8.00.8108 from the official site doesn't seem to work at all. It shows up as installed in the Windows control panel, the processes LMEvent, LMSvc and LMTray are running and the keys themselves (caps, num etc.) are working, but the notifications are not. Any help is appreciated :)

    Edit: Another issue: I would like to have NUM lock enabled on startup by default, but there is neither an option in the BIOS nor does changing "InitialKeyboardIndicators" in the registry work. Anyone having the same issue?
