    Hi guys,

    are there any alternatives to the ATKACPI driver? I hate the animations that popup and the stupid 10% jump of the audio. Are there any alternatives that just give you a simple non fancy indication of the brightness/volume/whatever levels?

    Thanks

    Go into msconfig and disable ATKOSD2 at startup, you'll get rid of those fancy animations. Even though they are bundled in the ATK package now, ATKHotkey, ATKOSD2 and ATKmedia all act as separate entities so you can disable the last two and the hotkeys will still function as long as you leave ATKHotkey as a startup entry.

    it actually didn't work :/


    Both disabled and restarted twice. also tried disabling the ATKGFNEX service and that didn't work either

    Edit*
    Figured it out, under asus in program files > atk package, you can turn it off
