somehow, 3820tg has no problem. i m using Winamp too. it works fine. the only problem is that the next and previous key will make Winamp skip a few songs. That's ok for me.

See if you try use my mmkeybd.cfg? You may want to back up the original file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Launch Manager first, then unzip the attachment and overwrite the file in that folder.

No harm trying...

the lmconfig will not do an anything, ignore it.

if you are downloading and dont want to restart, consider restarting "Dritek WMI Service" in Services. that service is the actual process that control Launch Manager.

someone else has similar problem like you, read further, apparently at post 12, it was solved using mmkeybd.conf as well smile.gif

they should have 4820/4810 keyboard protector as well. 14" is more common than 13". not sure if they are the same size though... but i do remember seeing 4820/4810 keyboard protector in ThunderMatch or Hybermart (but if u can find in other store, they should be cheaper)

nice, finally im able to use the media key functions on winamp

by understanding the config on this, it shows that there are 2 functions, legacy and common hook. but by using this, and enabling the global hotkey on winamp, i noticed that there's no volume indicator when we hit FN+UP/DOWN, it adjusts the winamp volume instead, not the system volume and by closing winamp, the system volume won't be affected either
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


however, by using the codes below, all of the media keys are hooked on to winNT including the media keys (notice the part I put them on legacy). the ";;" is means putting the whole line as comment. after putting them as comment, i tried them and it works, including the volume indicator that would change the system volume instead of winamp only

This is especially for those with the winamp searching for cd drive when using the media keys (just paste them to your existing MMKEYBD.cfg overwriting existing texts inside)

p/s: you don't have to enable the normal global hotkey option in winamp, only enable multimedia key support would be sufficient enough, but, if not using the normal global key the play/pause function would only act as play button and no pause

If you are not worry about unsigned driver, try this, it will update both your Intel and ATI driver:

http://www.acer-userforum.de/acer-treiber/...html#post292918

jedi_dc got it working nicely: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1606856/+2380#entry40997510

If you insist of only signed driver, you can maintain switchable graphic if you install Catalyst 11.2 in BIOS Discrete graphic mode.

oh wow.
you are really the hero of the this timeline x community!!
always available to help people.


let's say your laptop is brand new,, be it 3820 or 4820,
would you sell it off and pay extra rm500 to upgrade to 4830?
is it worth it??

design looks better.
but im not sure about the hardware and software.

most people had a lot of success if you install the driver this way:

1. remove all existing graphic driver
2. install Acer latest driver (by running the installer)
3. go to BIOS, change to Discrete graphic
4. install Catalyst 11.2
5. go to BIOS, change back to Switchable

About signed and unsigned driver, 64-bit OS has enforcement that all driver must be Signed, otherwise, it wont load them (ya, something like handphone). The custom driver was create by an individual that is not signed by a valid CA, so, 64-bit OS may not load it. So, the custom installer will disable driver signing checking to make it work. It simply mean, all drivers are now allow.

But if you dont mind and trust that driver, there is nothing to worry about.

i m gain the most in this thread, help me learn a lot.

Personally, I wont sell my 3820tg... for me, it's even better than 3830tg and 4830tg since it has dual fan. The performance gain is not that much. Especially when I can always OC better with my system. smile.gif,
