Asus G1S-A1 ATK0100 problem

i got my Asus G1S-A1 not long ago and everything was perfect.. i installed XP on it and work's good and everything but i got one little problem... when i hit some function key like Fn+F10 (mute/unmute) the icon appear in the upper left corner of the screen and disappear ( the way it'S suppose to work ) but after a while the icon stay on always... the only way to make it disappear it to reboot... or to close ATKOSD.exe in the task manager but if i restarte to process the icons doesn't come back with it...
i surely related to the ATK0100 ACPI Control Driver cause ATKOSD.exe is the control driver but i have no clue how to solve it... any help would be gratefull and thank in advance for your time...

Try to uninstall and reinstall.

This is what I did for my Vista Ultimate G1S. This way work for you.


From one of my previous posts:

This is what worked best for me.

1. Install the ATK ACPI driver and VGA driver from the CD first. Only install these two.

2. Restart.

3. Install all sound drivers that you need. For the G1S, get the Realtek drivers fromt he realtek website.

4. Restart.

5. Install the eSATA, Direct Console, Chkmail, and Bios Flash Utility.

6. Restart.

7. Install the AFGENERIC or whatever it's called, ATK Hotkey, Power 4 Gear, and ATK Media.

8. Restart.

9. Install the wireless lan drivers.

10. Restart.

11. Restart once more.

It took me a long while to find the most optimum order for installing the drivers because some of them are horribly coded and are very sensitive to the order in which they are installed. I have a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage SRM (USB Sound Card) thatI use to hook up multiple speakers. In order to get my sound function keys to work with the usb sound card, I had to install the Turtle Beach drivers before I stalled the Realtek drivers, but after the ACPI and VGA drivers.

I have not had problems and everything works. I also use the ATKOSD2 for the cool graphics for the function keys. Install ATKOSD2 when you install the ATK Hotkeys.


Side note:

In task manager, there is an ATKOSD.exe process and an ATKOSD2 process. I do not believe both are needed. The ATKOSD2 is for the cool graphics for function keys and the ATKOSD is the one installed with the ATK Hotkeys. I did a little experiment where I went to the ATK Hotkey folder, found the ATKOSD.exe and moved it to desktop. The ATKOSD.exe did not start up, but ATKOSD2 did and my function keys all still worked. Also, I had removed an unnecessary process.

Some people do say that the ATKOSD.exe process is connected with the ACPI driver.

 

many thank.. i'll try these cause i just got my new HDD (momentus 7200.2) and i'm about to install it so i'll do everything you said and keep you posted if it'S working for me or not... thank again...
