    Hi guys,

    I can't seem to find threads on this (please direct me if I have missed it).

    I just received my P157SM with windows 8.1 installed. When in desktop screen I press FN + ESC to bring up the Clevo control center. However, the menu screen for the control center seems to lock up often, I can't click on the buttons (they don't respond), or they respond in the wrong way. For example, if I click on the backlit keyboard option it starts reducing the screen brightness instead. Some other buttons don't even respond.

    Is anyone having these issues? If there something I can do to fix this?

    Thanks

    Hey

    What version of hotkeys did you have ?
    Also did you have AMD card ? Cuz some guys reported problems after install a new AMD driver.

    Another ideia try to run control center with windows 8 compatible, just right click on control center (in C:/programfiles/hotkey/hotkey.exe) and go to properties/compatibility and there you got Compatibility Mode try windows 8 !

    Thanks for the info...the problem actually went away after a few reboots. Strange...

    Now I'm trying to work out how to increase the resolution of some programs (like iTunes) that look like lo-res on the P157SM screen. I assume this is an issue with resolution compatability rather than the p157SM right? Much like the lo-res 2011 Office programs on a Mac Retina 15 inch.
