    Wifi/hotkey issue on W2P

    I've been having some wifi & hotkey issues on my Vista W2P recently....Basically, every once in a while I get a yellow triangle on the system tray network icon (limited connectivity warning).

    If I then use the Hotkey to switch off the wifi/bluetooth....The wifi doesn't come back on when I push the button again (I can tell this because the blue light on the front of the laptop doesn't come back on....just the Bluetooth one does.....Basically I have to reboot and press the hotkey a couple of times)

    Also occasionally the touchpad is unable to open links...again I have to switch the touchpad hotkey off & then on (this always sorts out the problem)...

    I've noticed that there's been a few hotkey issue posts recently (particularly the G series)....Has there been a recent windows update that's maybe causing some hotkey functionality issues?

    I know the advice is going to be to reinstall the hot key files...could some one tell me which ones I need...is it just the ATK Hotkey utility or the ATK drv as well?.....Finally, The wireless console 2 utility...is that an ASUS program , or an intel utility.

    Many Thanks for any advice

    ATK driver and utility.

    Also try reinstalling the WiFi driver and the ProSet utility, themselves.

    Wireless Console is an ASUS program (useless for me, since you can control the BT / WiFi from the hotkeys anyway).

    I would suggest removing it, it might conflict with the hotkeys.
