    Ok, a friend of mine has a DV9620us. I INstalled WIndows 7 Ultimate x64. I got pretty much everything working on it except for 2 things that I cannot remember how to fix.

    1. The remote control that comes with it. I installed Wireless Assistant for W7, but it still didn't respond.

    2. While I have the quick launch buttons installed, the mute button does not turn amber when muted. It's not a najor issue, but I would like to be able to have his laptop fully working the way he brought it to me (especially since it used to be mine.)

    Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys.

    The Wireless Assistant has nothing to do with the remote, it's for controlling WLAN/Bluetooth independently from one another. To make the remote work you need the ENE CIR Infrared Driver.

    The mute button doesn't have anything to do with the Quick Launch buttons software (as a matter of fact i don't even have it installed, check my signature for an alternative). It has to do with the sound driver. I assume it's got Conexant audio right? Click the "Conexant HD Audio" link in my signature, install that modified driver, and you'll be gold. :)

    I feel stupid lol. I had forgotten all about the ENE CIR driver. That one always catches me off guard. Thanks. I will let you know how it goes.
