    I have a MSI E7405 (GX740 with i5), I used the P1 key (Directly right of the Wifi Button) to designate it as a shortcut for StarCraft 2 Beta. So every time I press the P1 key, SC2 beta launches. Since the Beta ended, I uninstalled it and now when I press the P1 key it cannot find the Beta shortcut since it is no longer in my system.

    So my question is there a way to reset the P1 key so I can designate another shortcut program for when I press it?

    You probably have an icon in the taskbar for system control manager, right click on that and maybe you will have the option "user-defined key".

    At least that's how it works with my GT627.

    I have an MSI notebook (A6000?) that has the same key in the same place, but my System Control Manager doesn't have a "User-Define" option. When I right-click it, it just has "About" and 'Exit" I already reinstalled it with version 2.209.1106.005.10 So, how can I set mine?
    (The update made it a "search" button (instead of nothing))

    oh, and I'm running the preloaded Win7 Home Premium 32-bit

    You might want to try reinstalling system control manager first.

    By that I meant I used a newer version's installer to uninstall, then reboot and reinstall (then reboot). I think that is the latest version, though MSI doesn't seem to have this information...
