    I got a W3J system I successfully upgraded that to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition everything works fine as well as the drivers, P4Gear extreme works good, well as all the Function keys (brightness, volume etc.) , controls and profile. The only thing that doesn't work is brightness setting on each profiles, even though I already selected Battery saving mode it doesnt adjust the brightness.
    Is there a way to fix this??? need help!!! thanks
