    I just bought a new asus and everything is great except the volume control does not work, with the Fn key. All of the other functions work properly except all three of the volume keys, F10-F12 Please help

    Thanks,
    Newbie

    If you disabled it using selective startup or something - otherwise just reinstall atk.

    You can check your task manager to see if it's running. If you're unsure how you disabled it or can't remember if you accidentally disabled/uninstalled it, the simpliest way is to just re-install the ATK utility as ALLurGroceries suggested.

    I'm having a difficult time getting rid of some of these ASUS processes.

    To cut to the chase, I want to get rid of 'ATKOSD2' and 'AsScrPro' as they are both starting, even though I've done my best to uninstall and disable them in msconfig.

    I obviously want my Fn keys to work with at least basic behavior, and the motherboard remote driver:
    ATK Hotkey (ATKOSD)
    ATK0100

    But I could care less about water ripples on my screen, screen saver protector, ATK Media, etc.:
    ATKOSD2
    DMedia
    AsScrPro

    I tried to selectively install/uninstall parts of ATK Package, but that seems impossible. So I re-installed the damn thing, and attempted to disable what I don't want running... however ATKOSD2 is still being launched (probably by ATKOSD itself).

    Also, I have no idea why AsScrPro is still launching. I uninstalled the ASUS screensaver and webcam crap, and have it unselected in msconfig startup options... but when I start my laptop, it is still running.

    Short of renaming these executables, I am at a loss at solving this problem correctly. Any help?

    OK, for future reference I got rid of the two processes (a hacky way). I didn't want to do what I did because I thought it might trigger some error prompts... but it turns out that wasn't the case.

    I renamed this processes so that whatever is launching it, can't find it now:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ATK Package\ATKOSD2\ATKOSD2.exe

    I also just deleted this executable outright:
    C:\Windows\AsScrPro.exe

    I'm sure there is a clean way to uninstall just those pieces, but I wasn't able to figure it out. I'm also not that familiar with Windows7, and perhaps there is an alternative startup process list that I am not considering.
