    Are there ever going to be vista compatible utilities like hcontrol and wireless control for vista? The only thing that doesn't work in vista are the volume and mute controls. Thanks!

    Have you tried altering the compatibility mode for the program in Vista?

    Get rid of the program and process. If I remember correctly

    Right Click Icon > Compatibility > Change Mode to Windows XP SP2 > Apply > Close

    And restart the program. Sometimes that fixes it. Otherwise, Vista controls the volume!

    I'm sure once Vista is out for consumers, there will be Vista compatable drivers, it wouldn't make sense not do it. ;)

    As for your volume controls instead you may want to manually control this, by using the little speaker button in ur system tray, and adjust the master volume there as you need it. Plus you can also mute sound too.

    Or if your using a program, like Winamp, Windows media player you have manual volume controls there too, plus in Winamp there are Global Hotkeys in which you can customize to your likings. For example Ctrl + Alt + Up = Volume Up.

    These are just minor alternatives to when Hcontrols gets an update.
