    I installed Vista Ultimate on my W3J in the following order:

    1) INTEL CHIPSET

    2) AUDIO

    3) MODEM

    4) BLUETOOTH STACK

    5) CARD READER

    6) IR DRIVER

    7) LAN DRIVER

    8) TOUCHPAD

    9) TPM DRIVER

    10) INTEL WIRELESS

    11) ATK Driver

    12) ATK OSD

    13) ATK Hotkey

    14) ATK Media

    15) P4G EXTREME

    All dedicated keys on the left and right side work. You may have noticed I did not install SPLENDID & WIRELESS CONSOLE. I just think its a waste of my time for something I dont use. If you do need it, then install it BEFORE THE ATK DRIVERS.

    TPM: I dont use it, but when you visit Device Manager, you will see a device that requires drivers. The TPM requires a driver. I dont actually run the installation file, I just direct Device Manager to the extracted TPM driver folder so it could install the hardware drivers. Im not sure whats its for, since I dont use it.

    IR: I didnt install IR as well, but added to the guide incase someone asked when to install it.

    Also, the Wireless Driver I used is the one that comes from Intel, and installs both Adaptor driver, and the Wireless software.
