Hello, apperiantly one week back acer deleted "Acer Launch Manager" keyboard driver for acer laptops and i cant find it anywhere, its like NEWER REALLY WAS THERE BEFORE... O.O
actually there was 2 options of keyboard driver to choose from (acers website): one driver was made by Acer itself, another one - by some dritek.
Unfortenatly they probably think that dritek driver is better so they left just that one.
i dont know, maybe its better, but its UGLY! cause this driver gives logos indicators on display when i use VOLUME, BLUETOOH, WIFI, etc buttons... the logos by dritek is retarted comparing to acers. actually i realized that acers logos is like mac's.. maybe thats the reason they removed from download section..
anyway, i wan my old driver backits beautiful and its better, cause with that driver my power button was atleast recognised as "P" button (my batter button, and since power manager dosent work on this model with windows7... so i like it use as P button. Now its just opens panel where i can set up shortcuts to buttons that i dont ewen have! acer is thinking about?...
I bet some of u guys still have old good acer app+driver installed that is called Launch Manager and shows nice square black transparent logos when u press volume keys.
I had that one before i reinstalled windows. So please, could anybody send me? if u dont have install, maybe then just compress whole folder from program files? i think it should work, cause drivers would be same but app is the one that make logos.
My laptop is: Acer Aspire 5738G on windows 7 home premium 32bit.
it dosent have to be same laptop, im pretty sure most launch managers was made for lot models to work.
Im sorry for bad english, im on rush, to lazy to fix all![]()
Its suppose to look like this when i press special button:

NOT like this (witch is now):

Have you tried this one?
It's Launch Manager 3.0.04 -
yes, im currently running that one, and its not the one i like
i used to have lil differend one, it was older version, and it was made by acer. it showed nice square logos when i press multimedia keys on laptop. and i used that one 2 weeks back, when i was rinning windows 7 ultimate, 2 weeks back that thing still was on acers download drivers page. now its gone, just after i did clean windows 7 home install, i was wanting to download and now i cant...

All the icons in the launch manager directory are jpegs, why not replace them?

oh, actually its not possible to change images, it uses images just for monitor options, but for volume or bluetooth it just writes words in green color, its not even pictures, so i cant replace them. to me this version looks like some older... cause the real older atleast used pictures almost everywhere, and looked more futuristic like.
after long googling i find out that the best version of dritek launch manager is 3.0.02 - it haz all that sexy icons and works perfect.
Latest version 3.0.04 works fine but its ugly. and version 3.0.03 does not even installs, its fail. case closed.
im sorry to disturbing someones time. -
The older version of Launch Manager should be on your "Drivers & Applications" disc, on some models there is even a directory which has all preinstalled drivers on the HDD
Launch Manager has always been made by Dritek btw.

Acer removes launch manager made by acer from website? only Dritek?
