    The icons for the OSD dont show automatically when i start up the laptop I have to launch the osd_main_new. How can I get it to launch automatically so the icons show when i use the hotkeys on the top right of the laptop.

    Thanks

    Basically, in other words I have to launch the osd manually from the folder in program files. How can I get it to launch automatically. I re-installed it and still no luck it doesn't launch automatically.

    You can always create a shortcut to the .exe and drag it to the Start>Startup folder, which will cause it to launch when windows starts.

    I still have the same issue. I did the startup thing. The OSD icons do not show but the OSD keys work. But they do not show at all unless I manually start it up and even then after a while they stop showing.

    Are you installing this? Drivers and Downloads. It should be launched automatically without further action by you.
