    I just recently purchased a Znote 6314W. I like it very much, but one thing is bothering me! The P1 and P2 buttons seem to have no use - I am using Vista 32bit and there are no drivers available.
    I just downloaded the QLButton programme from ftp://ftp.zepto.dk/Znote6214W/Drivers/XP but I guess it is made for XP only?

    Anyway the thing I want to be able to do is make the P1 button turn down the volume and P2 turn up the volume! Is that possible? With the QLButton or any other way?

    The are no available Vista drivers yet for this, When running windows XP you can get drivers to make the p1 and p2 buttons open up a certain program for example. They will not be able to be used for sound. You can use fn and f8/f9 buttons to do this instead

    The QLButton program which can control the P-buttons in XP also works in Vista even though it might not be certified for Vista!
    I know about fn+f8/f9, but I find it annoying that I have to hold the fn button to control the volume.
    So is there any way you can make an application string (maybe with special parameters) to turn volume up and down??? It would be possible to use this in QLButton and make it work the way i want.
