    Any help guys? I've been at google.com trying to find out why the OSD won't come up anymore after I have reinstalled Win 7. I've tried uninstalling the IDT Audio driver/Quick Launch Button driver but still nothing. Any other suggestions? Has no one had this problem?

    You need to install HP Smart Media.

    It is located in your swsetup folder on drive C.

    Or you can download it off HP Website.

    I'm not sure if that'll 100% bring it back.

    You can instead, if you want, install 3rvx or something as a 3rd party OSD.

    also I'm not sure if this was ever fixed but the HP OSD would take you away from a fullscreen program (game, video you're watching, whatever)
