    I just reinstalled Windows XP on my Asus M6VA (Z70Va) laptop, and I've had a weird problem with my ATK0100 ACPI utility. Namely, the "internet"-hotkey on my laptops chassis always takes me to IE7, even though Firefox 3 is the systems default browser. If I click on a link in a program or a html file, they are always opened in Firefox, so there seems to be no problem there.

    I've downloaded the newest version from support.asus.com and I've also updated it with Windows Update, but nothing seems to affect it...

    Finally, I used regedit to add a ATK0100 key with a internet_key -string pointing to my Firefox installation folder. This works, but it opens quite slowly. I'd just like the hotkey to open my default browser as it should...

    Any help is greatly appreciated!
