    Hey all,

    I just did a CLEAN install of windows 7 and I DO have a few issues. My keyboard will not light up even after the new command center was installed. I cannot switch to external graphics. Seems to be stuck with integrated graphics for now. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

    Here

    For ability to switch to External Graphics, did you forget to install the OSD driver ? Are you able to switch using Fn+F7?
