    The touchpad above my keyboard is not working. The only button that works is the one that disables and enables the mouse touchpad all the other ones dont do anything anymore. Also when i try to open direct console 2.0 nothing happens and it doesnt open. Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know how to fix it?

    This happened to me.

    What I did was reinstall Direct Console (the newer one) I don't have the link but it is out there. It is 2.0.5, not 2.0.3 (what you probably have installed).

    My power4gear button did not stop working but I would just reinstall it from the disk. (Though I would check around and see if a newer version is available first).

    As for the extra lightning-shaped key, mine doesn't work either.

    You uninstalled Software which makes it function properly. Right now i only have software installed that allow my power4gear and touch pad buttons work and i have reassigned the other 2 buttons to do different things now.
