    Anyone know where to download the Direct Console 2.0 for my G50? Looked everywhere and can't find it anywhere and can't find my disc either.

    So anyone got any ideas about how to get my hotkeys working on Win7Ultimate RTM? I tried the atk downloads on the ASUS website, but none of them will work.

    ok you need to do this
    go to \Program Files(x86)\Asus\ATK Hotkey\ and find Hcontrol.exe. Run it and voila! Btw, I created a shortcut to it and placed it in Start->All programs -> Startup, so it starts every time I start the computer, otherwise you will have to start it manually.

    or you could use task scheduler to have it start when windows starts.

    There is a permanent solution for this:

    -Run
    -regedit
    -Find
    You need to modify HControlUser to HControl and this is how it should look (Yes, with Quotation marks):

    If the camera drivers are installed, then it should be working. Now, you'll need a third party software to use your camera. I still haven't figured out how to use the camera in Vista alone, although I am using it with MSN messenger. Works okay...
