    I just downloaded Direct Console 2.0 for Vista 64 bit. When I install it, the program errors out and states

    "Sorry, this program only supports ASUS notebook."

    My laptop is an ASUS G50Vm-X1. Is there something I should be installing before I try to install Direct Console?

    4. ATK Generic Function Utility
    5. KB Filter
    6. ATK Hotkey
    7. ATKOSD
    8. VGA (detected by win7) newer one at nvidia site
    9. LAN (detected by win7)
    10. Audio
    11. WiFi (detected by win7)
    12. Wireless Console
    13. Ricoh Card Reader (detected by win7)
    14. CMOS Camera
    15. Touchpad
    16. ITE Remote (install through device manager)
    17. ATKMedia

    You can actually run the CD if you put it into vista compatability mode and let it do its thing. Ive done XP manually which DC doesnt work on. Not sure what I have installed on 7 at the moment but the only x86 asus app at the moment is DC and its working.
