Several versions of the hotkey installer can be installed using this command line. Setup.exe /S /V'/qn REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS' or 'c: folder with spaces hotkey setup.exe' /S /V'/qn REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS' The commands in quotes after the /V are passed to the msi installer. The setup.exe is just a wrapper. This command was found by using the HP SoftPaq Download Manager and then right clicking the softpaq and viewing it's CVA file (notepad). Usually you'll find a silentinstall command towards the bottom of this file.
Jul 24, 2014 - HotKeyOSD.exe. Hotkey OSD Driver. Dritek System Inc. It is set to automatically execute when any user logs into Windows (through the local. Hotkey OSD Driver, a software developed by Dritek System Inc., often gets into your computer via Webpage browse or some freeware’s installation. To safely remove the program, the wrong way is to locate its folder, right-click it and select “Delete”, while quite a number of people are still doing this.
This is true of most HP drivers.
I have been using the Win7 version on my X220 with Windows 8 (fresh installation, not upgraded) with no problems, but with On Screen Display disabled, as the screen brightness and volume displays were redundant on Windows 8, so I did not enable that. I have the Win7 versions of Power Manager, Access Connections and Communications Utility installed, which were all working fine, apart from me losing wifi connection every half an hour. I also could not just use System Update to take care of everything for me.
Now with this new Hotkey driver none of the related hotkeys work and Fn+F6 even gives an error message saying that Lenovo Settings is not installed! I don't even want Lenovo Settings, as I would much prefer to have Windows 8 updates for Access Connections and Power Manager, as apparently it does not offer the same functionality. Is there any chance this is going to happen, or am I getting my hopes up? Get the best of both worlds! Install the Windows 8 Hotkeys installation in Windows 7 compatiblity mode. No onscreen display redundencies, Thinklight display works, Wireless Communications OSD works, mute key works, Fn + Function keys all work and the Fn + space magnifies the screen. I used this approach for a week and there appears to be no downside.
You can also create this shortcut on your desktop 'C: Program Files Lenovo HOTKEY TpFnF5.exe' This displays the old Fn + F5 wireless OSD without triggering the Windows 8 Airplane mode toggle which will normally happen when pressing the Fn + F5 keys. Results and comments welcomed. Now if I can only get that Bluetooth led to stay off between reboots.
Now that Lenovo has (IMO) gone and broken the Fn+F5 functionality in Win8 with sirplane mode toggling, does anyone know how to disable the toggle mode and revert this back to the original Fn+F5 way of single control of the wireless radio power settings? I realize that I can use the TpFnF5.exe to do this (which does not toggle), but I would like to use the fn+F5 keys. I'm a home user and I don't really need airplane mode here. It is very annoying to have your wireless automatically turned off/on when using the Fn+F5 function keys. Why oh why is Lenovo forcing this behavior on its users and not just fix the Fn+F5 settings option to what it says: 'Show a menu that allows me to control power settings for wireless radios in my system'. Has anyone figured a way of stopping airplane mode toggling when Fn+F5 is used in Win8?
