Recently I installed new version of Windows 7. All divers I have found on Acer website support, including Launch manager. My function keys are not working (volume, brightness etc., none of them). I have searched for solution of this problem, but whatever way, solution or answerI have found, none of them solved my problem.

If someone had the same or similar problem, please help me with ideas or some kind of working solution.

Thank you for helping me.

    My model is Acer Aspire 5560G. It is older model but working flawlessly. Any your opinion on this issue would be appreciated.

    >>>Recently I installed new version of Windows 7>>>

    What do you mean by "new"? A new Microsoft-flavored generic Win7 version? Or a new ACER-flavored Win7 version? A new ACER-flavored Win7 version should still be on a hidden partition on your 5560G with all the drivers and Win7 system files needed to make all the keys and everything else working properly under Win7.

    I have hidden partition with Windows 7 but something is wrong with boot, it just stopped working. So, now I am using Windows 7 x2 edition and all drivers I am installing manually. I just have problem with Launch manager. I am using the last version (also before I have tried some older) but I can't get Fn keys to work at all. I and it is simple, install and use. I have tried compatibility mode for some other Launcher version but also keys do not want to work.

    What do you mean the hidden partition stopped working? The hidden partition isn't supposed to work unless the ALT+F10 key combination is used from a cold boot. Jack E/NJ
