setpoint vs launch manager

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
is it possible to have launch manager and logitech setpoint peacefully co-existing on my TM8104. installing setpoint seems to kill most of the Fn-hotkeys and OSD displays of launch mgr.

cheers,

Reinstall Launch Manager. You either have to install LM after SetPoint or, if you do it in different order, use the latest SetPoint. Logitech fixed installation issue where they completely overwritten keyboard filters instead of properly adding to existing entries. LM setup respects other keyboard filters.

i tried that once already. didn't work, but i'll give it another go. is there a newer version of LM than I have?
i have LM.06-15-2005.v1.01.1e.ePM

i'm using the newest setpoint that logi suggests for my mx5000, 2.60.606, but there is a newer version 3.01 that i haven't tried yet.

cheers,
Jeff

I'm using SetPoint 3.01 on my Aspire 3023WLMi and there is no conflict between it and LaunchManager.

thatd didn't work. i installed setpoint 3.01, then uberoptions and re-set my customisations, then resinstalled launchmanager1.01.1e

LM is still not working fully. most of the Fn keys combo's work except for Fn-F1 - help, and Fn-F2 - eSetting. I don't really use either of those ever, but it's a little annoying that they're completely broken. And the OSD of Fn-Up/Down - volume control doesn't show, although the volume does go up and down like it oughtta. Also those 4 customisable buttons above the (8104) keyboard that let me launch internet and email etc don't work properly. The 'net and email buttons still work, although my customisations have gone. the acer "e" button now does nothing at all. and the "programmable" "P" button also does nothing, although i have to assume re-installing LM would have erased my customisations on the 'net, mail and "P" buttons. But now I can't find how to re-set my cutomisations. The LM icon is missing from the tray, even tho QTZgAcer.exe is running, and I can't find anything in C:/Acer/ or C:/Program Files/ that'll let me config it. Also all 4 of those buttons have no OSD

I have customised the cruise up/down buttons on my mouse to Media-VolUp/Down(repeating) in setpoint. Sadly setpoint didn't offer these customisations so i had to use uberoptions again. So anyway, when i use the mouse to control the volume i get a different OSD volume control on screen. Maybe the setpoint volume control OSD killed the launch manager volume control OSD. Is there any way I can get both to work?

edit:

Well, after continued tweaking i found that if i exit setpoint then all the LM stuff works properly, every button, every OSD. When I pushed the user programmable "P" launch key with setpoint not running, the dialog that lets me program the launch keys came up, so i've got them working how i want now too, BUT, when I launch setpoint again i lose OSD for most of the Fn-Keys and FnF1, FnF2, and "e" key stop working again.

If i have to choose between LM's OSD and my setpoint mouse button tweaks, i'd choose setpoint. but i don't think i should have to choose.

well, i sort of got around the problem by making a hotkey script with autohotkey, to kill or launch setpoint, and set mouse speed for whether i'm using touchpad or mouse.

http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

heres the scrpt i made:

;
; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x
; Language: English
; Platform: Win9x/NT
; Author: A.N.Other <myemail@nowhere.com>
;
; Script Function:
; Template script (you can customize this template by editing "ShellNew\Template.ahk" in your Windows folder)
;

#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

I had the same problem on my Travelmate 800 with SetPoint 3.1.116 and LaunchManager.

I don't know exactly how I fixed it but it does work now. I managed it more or less this way:

1. Uninstalled LaunchManager.

2. Rebooted.

3. Installed LaunchManager.

4. Rebooted. (still didn't work with setpoint running)

5. I looked in the device manager (Geräte Manager) and saw that even the drivers for the PS/2-Keyboard (which actually is the built in one!) were from Logitech. So changed the driver to another one, which in German is named "Standardtastatur (101/102 Tasten) oder Microsoft Natural Keyboard (PS/2)" and in English should be something like "Generic Keyboard 101/102 Keys or MS natural Keyboard".

6. Rebooted. (still the same)

7. Reinstalled LaunchManager WITHOUT uninstalling it before.

8. Rebooted.

I don't know why, but after all that it worked and I'm happy! ;-)

Hope this helps someone outta there.
