Gateway volume control problem

[goobers]

Thanx crazytimmy. This worked on my Gateway NE56R laptop also.


[uotemsg=219318,6,507533]I have the same problem as all of you to the "T"


Okay with some leg work of my own (not of gateways support, there answer was to restore to factory condition) of coarse that will work. But I knew there had to be an easier more timely way of fixing this problem. So after the same problem came back I decided to look deeper into the problem knowing that gateway wasn't going to help. I found that the program that controls the function of the touch buttons.


So my solution is simple and here is a small how to:

Run the Gateway Recovery Management,
click okay at the prompt,
click "Restore" (Top Left),
click "Reinstall Drivers or Applications",
select "Contents",
Scroll down to "Launch Management" Application and
click the install icon to the right.

Once Installation is complete restart your computer and login.

Your touch buttons should now work.

I hope this works for all of you as it did for me.[/quotemsg]

This worked for my problem, thank you! My volume control buttons had stopped working. Thank you again!

Since Gateway is owned by Acer. Here's the software that worked on my NV58 from Acer Website:

Launch Pad:

You may need this also. I think this is for power button on the launchpad.

i understand this is and old forum, however i am aving similar issues, all of my touch/soft keys work on demand, however the volume lights up and turns itself all the way down randomly. very aggravating. i just want to dis-able these keys. anyone know how? thanks

tandeforever, I'm currently working on a Gateway NV79 with that same issue: Volume adjusting to zero by itself.

It's also opening windows randomly, and I've ruled out the keyboard and touchpad, so I'm thinking this might be a hardware (motherboard) issue.

Did your symtoms keep getting progressively worse, and did other random actions start happening??

Had the same issue with my NV54. Go to start menu and search for Launch Manager. When it pops up, click on "Launch Manager" and the red light volume buttons mysteriously start working, and you get the screen notification when you're adjusting or muting volume.
