    It works for me when I had my Z70va, changed a few things, modified the
    Instant-Music switch to a FireFox browser button, so I can quickly surf :)

    It's not really hard, just edit the file and replace the directory, then add to registry.

    Although. I haven't used it since i goy a V6va, so I can't say now :p

    Yup coriolis... it's not that hard i guess, I already downloaded it and read the installation manual..... but the only things that keeps me from trying is becoz it's really really outdated... 05? it's a year already. I'm sure it will work with your z70a ,but I'm afraid something will conflict with a8j's drivers and then I'm gonna have to mess around to find fix, reinstall windows etc. :(

    If anybody ever had experience with modifiying these, mind to share some? :) It will be really nice if I can change the bluetooth and the wireless hotkey to volume up and down or something else hehehe. and the instant on key ofcourse.. Since it had no use at all.....
