A Minor Question

I believe this is this is the right place for this, although I could be wrong. I recently got an Asus G73jh and I am enjoying it. I was changing the volume on it, when suddenly the whole style of the volume-change display changed. This in itself is an extremely small issue, but after that I hit the Twin Turbo mode button and instead of showing whether Twin Turbo was on or off, all that was displayed was a gray rectangle. So I, being the noob that I am, am wondering if this is a known issue and if there is a fix to it. Thank you for any response.

 

There is a program called "ATKOSD2". It takes care of displaying eye-candy effects when you change volume, brightness, etc. Without ATKOSD2 you will see a much simpler (rectangles) representations of volume change and so on.

So, have you by any chance uninstalled ATKOSD2? If you uninstalled it, then download it from Asus' drivers page. If you didn't uninstall it, then the program could somehow became screwed up by itself and solution is the same: re-install the latest version from Asus' drivers page.

 

In your DVD drivers, if you explorer a while, you will find 2 version of ATKOSD. The first one display and small rectangle in the top left portion of the screen (in blue) when you change the volume, display brightness, wireless, etc. Of course this program do not work alone. It's need ATK, which allow the use of Fn+Key combination. Check you hake atk installed first. ATKOSD2 it's just a newer version that display a more fancy display that show you the changes of volume, etc in the center of the screen. Both version can be downloaded from asus website.

 

I downloaded ATKOSD2 and the volume indicator is back to normal, but now when I hit the the Twin Turbo button nothing appears on the screen to show that I used the button in the first place. Any advice? Thanks for the help.

 

Check in the BIOS your Twin Turbo option is activated. Also check in P4G, on the bottom left part there an option to activate it.
