    Okay guys, I've risen from the depths of the abyss that we call hardcore gaming to be here and ask a question. See for some reason, over the weekend my fn+xx hotkeys that control volume decided they went on strike and laughed when I asked them to work. I asked around since I was unfamiliar with the failure of such hotkeys (I thought they were in the BIOS), but now I realize that it's my OS that decided it didn't like me. So I saved up all my old data and did a wonderful reinstall just a couple hours ago.
    ...
    Problem fixed! Volume control now works!!....

    Webcam driver refuses to install; states I need to attach it or enable it prior to installation. I don't know how to detach something stuck in my monitor, but to my knowledge it worked up till last night when I was on skype. I cannot find any questionmarks in device manager, and I don't know how to enable this otherwise short of attempting a reinstall of my OS. Which I VERY much do not want to do. Any ideas? I do use my webcam quite a bit.

    I wish you'd said that before I blamed it on a botched install and redid my OS again =(

    But thanks for the advice.

    It IS in the manual - page 1-11 (33 of pdf version) - just not marked on the keys, like the bluetooth (fn+f12) as they are optional extras.
