    I've just finished setting up my V6Va with a clean windows install. I've put all the drivers I need on it, but the HControl utility crashes every time windows boots (so it doesn't work). I think this might be because I'm using the newest Intel PROset software. Is there a fix for this? Some kind of modded HControl?

    I had the exact same problem with hcontrol. It is due to the new Intel proset wireless program. I just downgraded to the previous proset software, but I kept the most recent drivers and it worked. I have my hotkeys again! yay! Hope this helps. Good luck

    How do you downgrade the software while keeping the newest drivers?

    Scoob you can't. Just install a previous version of the drivers.

    I believe the 9 series drivers had no problems with ATK, but the new ones with the new interface has problems.

    Cheers,

    Shampoo is right... you have to wait until Asus releases a newer version of the ATK driver before you can use the new PROset utility.
