    Some of you may have seen my post earlier about my wireless seemingly not disabling. Well, I installed the Intel Proset drivers and software and the wireless toggles just fine now, but for some odd reason my Fn+F1 sleep combination stopped working. All of the other ones work fine, it just won't go to sleep anymore. Start->Shut down->Sleep still works.

    I tried downloading the newest ATK100 driver, no dice. It still doesn't work, but all the others do.

    Any ideas? All input much appreciated!

    I had this problem last week because ATK Media (DMEDIA.EXE) had disabled the button, and i had stopped DMEDIA.exe from startup.
    I right clicked the ATK media tray icon and set

    Sleep Action Button --> Standby

    Maybe you've aleady tried it but tell me if that works.
