    hi, when i got the laptop, when i would press function + f2 or f3, it would adjust the brightness and display something on the screen as well. now it doesn't because i reinstalled windows 7 on a ssd using a win 7 disc. i transferred the activation information and the SWSetup folder.

    anyone know which driver shows these things on the screen? it still changes the brightness but it doesnt show an indicator on the screen anymore

    also i cant doubletap the top left of the mouse pad to turn it off

    oh and does any know where the HP coolsense driver is

    I believe all of those functions are part of the same HP Onscreen Display driver. It is located in C:\SWSetup\HPOSD.
