    Thanks! Most of my Quicklaunch Buttons worked before, and now the fn(f5) [Sleep] works, too!

    are you talking about the feature where Quickplay or QuickDVD will load without going into windows just by pressing the QL buttons? Cause apparently this only works for XP

    My quicklaunch buttons work at full functionality

    Mine have always worked ok under Vista, but it really sux that they can no longer be programmed as they could in XP. They aren't even shown in ontrol Panel. I used to like being able to set the DVD button for instance, to open WMP rather than Quickplay. Has anyone been able to find a fix for this?
