Description

When using Windows Vista/Seven with the ASUS Eee PC (700/900/1000 Series) the ACPI Drivers from the ASUS page will fail with the messages Missing Audio Driver, audio hot key is void and Missing VGA Driver, Display switch hot key is void. And the function keys won't work correctly, so you can not adjust the soundvolume with your keyboard. There's a simple way to resolve the issue: This acpifix. It simply changes some driver names inside the ACPI services executable and changes Windows XP API calls to their corresponding Vista/Seven APIs. The fix is obsolete since summer 2009, as ASUS has released a working driver, and should NOT be used anymore (thus no installation instructions). Please use the drivers from the ASUS page or the ones linked below. This page, the author and acpifix are in no way affiliated with ASUS. The source code is published in the Public Domain.
