    I just upgraded to 64 bit Vista and did a reformat, everything has gone smoothly with the exception of one thing: instead of the glassy transparent effects for switching power management, signal output, wireless signal, it has an ugly blue box in the upper left corner, and also, once I set it to HDMI out through FN+F8, it stays even if I set it to LCD only. Which drivers do I need to fix this?

    I think you're missing one of the ATK drivers/software. Did you install all of them? Maybe the Asus website has newer drivers, so you could try those too.
    As for the HDMI and Fn-F8 issue, have you tried Fn-F7? It could also be Nvidia's control panel over riding the display function.

    You're missing ATKOS2, which is what gives you the glassy effect and what not when you change stuff through hotkeys (FN + f10 for mute etc). I myself prefer the ugly box lol,

    F7 turns off the LCD as it should. All the other hotkeys work, except for FN+F8.

    As Singh says, you are missing ATKOSD2. But indeed I prefer the less intrusive blue boxes, or even better -- especially if you are gaming -- none at all (although they can be useful for getting feedback that the computer actually did what you asked it to do).
