    I remember there was an old site:

    http://power4gear.bk-kicks.com/hcontrol.htm

    that had a modded hcontrol that allowed you to control Winamp with the media buttons on my Z71V.

    The site is down and I can't find it anywhere, can someone help me (upload, give updated website)?

    As well, does anyone know if it works for Vista (I'm running that now)?

    Thanks.

    As ATK0100 driver doesn't support vista (ASUS has released a new one), this modded hcontrol.exe won't work too.

    Unfortunately it's almost impossible to find it on the net. I had a copy of it, but somehow I couldn't find it. Maybe someone in this forum uploads to somewhere safer :)

    Or you can mail the author of the modded hcontrol: bklynkid [at] gmail.com . I found this via web.archive.org - the wayback machine :)

    Edit: check this link out, there is a better and more flexible alternative of the hcontrol mod:

    Use this, it works flawlessly. Just remember to get an updated version of the ATK0100 drivers. I've had success with these.

    Cheers.
