Quickset and Windows Mobility Centre

As I'm sure those of you who installed it are aware, the latest Version of Quickset is now ran on startup as a service. Yay! However, for me, when it opens it also opens the Windows Mobility Centre on startup. Does anyone know a way to keep QuickSet on startup, but stop the Mobility Centre popping up?

 

What is the version and build ID of Dell QS that your on about?
Thanks.

Additional Information on some features.

============================================

1. Display brightness (may vary depending on your system)

- Intel(R) Display Power Savings Technology: To save power on battery mode by adjusting display settings.

2. Radio/Wireless activity control

You can control the on-board wireless devices using the wireless switch (OR) the Fn+F2 hotkey depending on your system support. You can use QuickSet to configure the radios that the switch/hotkey would control.

3. Wi-Fi Catcher(TM) Network Locator Configuration:

QuickSet provides the interface to configure Wi-Fi bands or specific networks that the Wi-Fi Catcher should scan for.

4. Backlit keyboard:

- The control to the backlit keyboard is in the "Display and Devices" category.
- This feature is only available when installing QuickSet on a system with backlit keyboard.

5. Extended Battery Life / Battery charge disable:

- These features can be accessed and configured within the Battery Meter (launched by Fn+F3).

6. Fn key behavior change:

- The behavior of Fn key can be chosen by the users to work as the normal function keys or work as multimedia keys. This can be done by choosing the preferred mode by opening the Mobility Center.

I will look into this for you over the weekend but my test rig will be M1330XPS

 

Thanks a lot. The only difference between my rig and yours is the fact I didn't install the keyboard backlight module

Just installed on my m1330 with Windows 7 64-bit and still no overlays for volume changes and whatnot. Damn, was really hoping they fixed that.

 

@Eambo OK did a few test on my rig with Dell QS v.9460

Install QS v9460 and at no stage did I have the Mobility center load at startup.
As you should know QS is loaded at startup by default when shipped from Dell.
When I run QS (v9460) then selected Mobility center I had only 4 or 5 options in the menu (Layovers) as appose to 10 which I had from my orignal QS v8 and also my modded QS. I also noted that the QS tray shortcut loaded in the taskbar then despaired but it was still run when I check in Processes manager.
What laptop are you using?
Any how for me I went back and installed v8 and imported files from DELL QS v9460 (which I had saved before hand) into my newly installed QS program folder and all is fine.
So if the QS v9460 is not intended for you laptop you may will try out this mod.

@gage006 did you have the menu (overlays) working at any stage before?
You may try the above mod...

 

Eambo... just uninstall all references to Quickset. Once this is done, run CCleaner - check your registry.

Once this is done, follow the instructions on my blog (on the driver page). This is the exact same way I installed Quickset on my laptop and we both have the same model. Remember, after the initial install of the base driver - do not uninstall - just download the next Quickset and run the installer (you will be prompted to 'update your Quickset' or it will present you with a options box (if you get the options, do NOT select backlighting).

I do not have the mobility center popup at startup and this is how it looks for me (yes, it runs as a local machine process):

 

I followed your instructions batboy, however after the second installer, I don't get anything but update options. So I install the First QS -> Install the second one, here selecting not to update the keyboard backlighting -> Update twice.

For some reason this install I don't have the overlays either. I'll try again =-P

Edit: For some reason my Overlays refuse to work =-P Here is what I done:

Removed QuickSet
Ran Ccleaner
Installed the first one
Installed the second one, unchecking the keyboard option
Installed the third one, simply 'updating'
Installed the fourth one, again, updating.


My Volume overlay doesn't show up (Which is weird because I've had it before) and the mobility centre still shows up on startup =-P

 

They've never worked in Windows 7 for me. Did the mod, didn't fix it.
