    Vista 64 bits drivers for HEL80

    Actually I'm trying Windows Server 2008 64 bits in my HEL80, but it uses the same drivers that Vista 64 bits uses. The default drivers didn't worked only for the Card Reader and for the fingerprint reader, nothing that couldn't be resolved with the Vista 64 bits drivers from powernotebooks support page. The bluetooth also works after editing the .inf files so it accepts the SO.

    The only thing isn't functioning perfect is the Wireless Select Switch, which after install gives the error:

    ---------------------------
    Wireless Select Switch.exe - System Error
    ---------------------------
    The program can't start because EBLib.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

    I'm trying the driver version v1.43.0.11, didn't found a newer one and previous versions don't work either. So, does anyone running Vista 64-bits has a working drive or at least the EBLib.dll file to send me?


    Editing
    I discovered that the driver is unpacking correctly EBLib.dll to "C:\ProgramData" and manually copying the file to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Compal Electronics, INC\Wireless Select Switch" allows Wireless Select Switch.exe to start without errors.

    Although, now the problem is that even with the application running, the shortcut Fn + F2 doesn't work and right-clicking program icon on system tray and choosing "Option" doesn't do anything. Already tried v1.43.0.11 and v1.43.0.9, both for Vista 64-bits.

    I can use the WLan, but can't disable it or enable the bluetooth radio and therefore can't install its drivers because is like it isn't connected.

    So, is there anyone here running Vista 32/64-bits with Compal HEL80 with Wireless Select Switch working properly?


    Thanks in advance.

    How it can be? Do you have internal bluetooth? Do you have the wireless switch icon in your system tray? Can you control your wireless/bluetooth using Fn + F2 or by right clicking on the icon?

    Thanks!

    I don't have a Bluetooth.
    A wireless select switch on the notebook case works fine without drivers.
