    I just updated my 8920g to Win 7 64-bit, everything works fine, except the fn+left / right keys for brightness control. I've already installed launchpad, that didn't help. All the other fn+ whatever keys seem to work fine

    Any ideas?

    If you have installed latest nvidia 195.62 drivers, install the older ones 186.81

    Then you will have brightness control
