    Just a small problem, but it is beginning to annoy me nonetheless. Owners of the Sager NP8662 will know to adjust the volume using the keyboard the have to press either FN+F5 to the reduce the volume or FN+F6 to increase it. Ever since I had this computer whenever I used the keys to raise or lower the volume a little volume indicator would show up in the upper left hand corner, with a little bar that moved up or down a horizontal axis with respect to if you were raising or lowering the volume. NP 8662 owners know the one I should hope A few days ago, when I went to raise the volume, this indicator in the upper left hand didn't show up and has not ever since.

    How do I get it back? :(

    Actually, I'm still running Vista 64, I'll make the switch to Windows 7 when I have the time but right now I'm swamped with work. Anyways, thanks for the help, I'll look around their for the Windows Vista 64 driver.

    Well, I re-installed the Windows Vista 64 Hotkey drivers, no luck unfortunately. I also just noticed that the brightness meter that should appear in the upper right hand corner does not work as well.

    Any other suggestions folks? :confused:

    Did you uninstall the old hotkey driver first, if not try uninstalling anything related to hotkey, reboot, then just install the newest one.
